diagnosis
Jiang responds that quantum mechanics was the last major breakthrough in physics and that later programs such as string theory do not count as breakthroughs on that level.
model
Jiang says God creates the laws of the universe and then lets those laws operate, so plants and other material creatures arise under physics, biology, and chemistry rather than through constant direct intervention.
