If the experience of science teaches anything, its that the world is very strange and surprising. The many revolutions in science have certainly shown that. – John Polkinghorne
I very much enjoyed my career in science. I didnt leave science because I was disillusioned, but felt Id done my bit for it after about twenty-five years. – John Polkinghorne
Im a very passionate believer in the unity of knowledge. There is one world of reality – one world of our experience that were seeking to describe. – John Polkinghorne
I also think we need to maintain distinctions – the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science. – John Polkinghorne
