• Introduction
• Setting the scene historically
• The scientific story so far
• The current situation: gaps in our TOEs (TOE = 'Theory of Everything')

• Option 3 is to innovate within science by looking into emergence and dynamical systems theories
• Implications of this change for science
• Implications of this change for theology
• Recap
