Ever wondered where we got the word "universe"?
Unity in diversity.
The vision of a university was originally to find some sort of grand unity amongst the different sciences and arts. All truths 'meet at the top'...
Once upon a time, theology was the queen of sciences.
Imagine doing economics, and wonder how the curves ultimately had to speak about just distribution of resources.
Or, exploring how information technology affects how *people* work and interact in organisations. Are we empowering or dehumanise people via the systems we engineer?
Rather than letting diversity be swallowed by uniformity (everybody wear tudung) charasteristic of worldviews of 'The One'...
Or letting unity be diluted by particulars characteristic of "the Many" worldviews (everything is just matter and energy)...
Christians can exult in the diversity and unity in God's creation... Because the Creator has three-in-oneness, we can expect creation to exhibit similar attributes.
"It is premodern to seek beyond rational knowledge for God; it is modern to desire to hold knowledge in the structures of human rationality (with or without God); it is postmodern to see the impossibility of such knowledge."
-- Colin Gunton, the late Professor of systematic theology in King's College
