"Searching the Cosmos for God"

Chris Hossfeld, Music Director - As our scientific understanding has expanded, so too has our conception of the size of the universe. What do these new discoveries tell us about the search for a divine power in the swirling cosmos? As the vastness of the universe becomes more and more strictly defined by scientific laws and theories, is there still room for God in the heavens?
