Contemporary Psalms Praising the Evolving Cosmos and the Imagined Discovery of Creative Intelligence Behind Reality

These fifty psalms, written by an imagined scientist—best read in conjunction with the first fifty psalms in the Old Testament—often use both formal and casual vocabulary, metaphors, political condemnations, and direct pronouncements of his discovery: the Creative Intelligence behind evolution. This defiant poet/scientist, this astronomer, reveals in his psalms all of his psalms the beauty of the Cosmos, ecstatic over the small, finely tuned quantum numbers that make the Universe what it is, and praises the continuous evolution of all things. As an evolutionist, he sees God behind evolution itself—evolution as God’s primary tool.
