<!g>Barbour’s recent position has shifted from what it was in the 1960s, when in the context of two rival models (steady state and <!g>Big Bang) he stressed the neutrality of theology to such specific aspects of <!g>cosmology as t=0. In his 1990 Gifford Lectures he suggested that if a clear scientific consensus should emerge on the issue of t=0, it would be relevant to theology. Compare Barbour, <!g>Issues in science and religion, 366-68, 377, 380, 414, 458. with Ian G. Barbour, <!g>Religion in an Age of Science, Gifford Lectures; 1989-1990. (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1990), 128-29. For a detailed analysis of Barbour’s’s position, see Russell, "Finite Creation Without a Beginning," 300-03.
