Abstract
In this article, the author asks why the South African public, especially Afrikaans communities,
is largely unaware of the knowledge generated in the field of science and religion. The author
describes theologies as complex systems that interact with their environment. To illuminate
the environment, the author turns to the theatre system and illustrates how the theatre system
can illuminate the modelling choices of theologians.
