Readers Respond to ‘God’s Rays’

Jean Bullard

Thanks so much for making “God’s Rays” available online. In my retirement, I tutor senior high-school students, mostly in math, physics, and chemistry, but occasionally in English or biology.

Like Bryce DeWitt, I have wondered how youngsters are supposed to study English literature without knowing any biblical references. And I have seen so many kids suffer because some adults pressure them to choose between evolution and Bible-based faith. I try to assure these kids that exposure to the principles of evolution need not erode their faith.

Reading DeWitt’s essay could do a lot of people—pastors, parents, politicians—a lot of good. Too bad only the physicists are likely to see it.
