Those theologians who are beginning to take the doctrine of creation very seriously should pay some attention to sciences story. – 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
Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you cant construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history. – John Polkinghorne
