    Abstract

    It is no secret that Karl Barth�s theological star has waned in recent decades. But even currently invisible stars may, in principle, still have much light to shed on ancient, intractable problems. Science can no doubt be a useful dialogue partner for some areas of theology, but when it comes to the crunch of theodicy, Barth�s intuitions about the meaning of �creation� may perhaps still be more realistic than any amount of speculation about the �big bang�.
