The late Harvard mathematician and philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead, maintained that the whole scientific enterprise of the western world rested upon the belief that at the bottom of things science would find order rather than chaos. Even western scientists dissected, investigated, explored and probed into the depths of the atom, they believed order and organization would be found rather than disorder and disarray.

"What was at the bottom of this conviction?" asked Whitehead. It was the theological concept of the Logos, the Word or Reason or Mind of God, which held everything together. Why do things cohere and hold together? It is because the Mind or Logos, or the Spirit of God, holds them together.

The Spirit who comes at Pentecost is the same spirit that hovered over the face of the deep at creation. Order and beauty is central to God's movements throughout creation and throughout history.
