Baseball and Perspective

At church this Sunday, our ward organist (who is excellent) gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting (which was excellent). He is a physics professor at BYU, and his talk was about how he reconciles scientific theories with his testimony when they appear to conflict (i.e. the Big Bang theory, evolution, etc).
He started out by making this analogy: Say you got a ticket to a baseball game, but you got a seat where you could only see the pitcher and the batter. You couldn't see the umpire, the catcher, the other fielders, or even the other bases or the scoreboard. This is a really terrible seat!
But as you watch the game, you start to notice patterns. This is like a scientific theory. You figure out that when the hitter hits the ball, he takes off running. You figure out that there must be a catcher, since the ball keeps being thrown back to the pitcher. And after a few games (you got a season pass in this awful seat), you start to figure out more technicalities, like balls and strikes. You start feeling really confident in your theory. Every time the ball is thrown, it fits into your theory of baseball.
But then one time when you're watching the ball, there are three strikes and the runner takes off towards first base. What?! That doesn't fit into your theory at all. So you modify your theory. You add the "third strike drop" rule that accounts for when the catcher drops the ball on a third strike, then the hitter gets to run to the bases. Now your theory works again.
But do you really understand what it is to watch baseball? Do you really understand all the rules? I'm sure you don't. But from your terrible seat and limited perspective, you've done a lot to figure out what's happening.
Scientific laws and theories are actually both theories. Newton's Laws are called laws because that's what HE called them. And they've been proven to be wrong in some situations, but they're still called laws. Then we have Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which has never been proven wrong but is still called a theory, because Einstein called it a theory.
So going back to the religion thing. How can someone believe in the Big Bang theory, the theory of evolution, AND Adam and Eve? Well, it all comes down to perspective. We don't know exactly how anything worked out. The account of the creation in the Bible is very brief and doesn't go into too much detail on HOW things were created. And from our limited standpoint, we've found a lot of evidence that supports the scientific theories. Should we just throw away that evidence because we can't make it fit in what we know to be God's truth? No. But neither should we throw away God's truth just because we found some evidence supporting some theories that seem to contradict it.
We just keep studying and keep learning, realizing that we have a limited perspective and that God knows all. Maybe once we die and get to heaven, we'll get a better seat.
