Today many people rely on science to define Reality. According to these folks, if science can’t know something, there’s nothing to know. But science can’t even explain its own story scientifically. On the other hand, and on its own terms, Christianity is the revelation of ultimate Reality. And like Tolkien’s Arda, according to the Christian faith, the world that we live in was made from the Outside. In Christianity, if anything is unnecessary it is the world. But what is necessary is the One who made it.
