Those theologians who are beginning to take the doctrine of creation very seriously should pay some attention to sciences story. – John Polkinghorne
Bottom up thinkers try to start from experience and move from experience to understanding. They dont start with certain general principles they think beforehand are likely to be true they just hope to find out what reality is like. – 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
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
