The evolutionary model is being used increasingly in different disciplines as a guideline to understand humans and their action in the world. The struggle for explaining the action of God has shifted from the world of history and texts to the invisible level of quantum physics and molecular biology. It seems that levels of indeterminacy in quantum mechanics and autopoietic systems offer space to explain the action of God. On the human level integrity is sought by linking the highest level of consciousness and rationality to the very basic level of molecular and genetic structures. These issues are dealt with and specific attention is given to autopoietic systems and the biological roots of rationality.enFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaScience-religion debateEvolutionary biologyEpistemologyReligion and scienceEvolution (Biology) -- Religious aspectsKnowledge, Theory of (Religion)God -- KnowablenessArticle
