Photosystem II sustains life through its own destruction. CSIRO research scientist Trevor Rapson argues this isn’t a design flaw but a fingerprint of the self-giving God who made it.
In this article for CPOSAT, Rapson examines how the remarkable fine-tuning of Photosystem II, and its paradoxical self-sacrifice in producing the oxygen that makes complex life possible, resonates with the kenotic, self-giving nature of the Triune God. Drawing on the science-engaged theology of Alister McGrath, he shows how reading nature through a theological lens can deepen both scientific vocation and Christian faith.
