Quarks and Creation
by Kevin
Those interested in the intersection of faith and science, might want to check out the Speaking of Faith website and listen in on their recent broadcast on Quarks and Creation. Here is the teaser:
Science and religion are often pitted against one another; but how do they complement, rather than contradict, one another? We learn how one man applies the deepest insights of modern physics to think about how the world fundamentally works, and how the universe might make space for prayer.
The discussion is with John Polkinghorne, the Canon Theologian of Liverpool Cathedral in England and author of Exploring Reality: The Intertwining of Science and Religion. I have a couple of Polkinghorne’s books but haven’t managed to read them. At one point I wanted to do some serious reading in the field faith and science, but like so many of my plans it faded away. Instead I lurch from book to book with little planning or forethought . . .
Anyway, I plan to listen to the podcast myself and thought others might enjoy it.
Kevin, the coming battle between the Darwinians and Christians is on the horizon. It’s still officially denied as a conflict by the MSM, but below is one site I enjoy which also carries information from the ID side.
Luckily I grew up before ‘scientism’ hardened into orthodoxy. The humanities were still viable when I was in school. I’m not sure they live in today’s Academia; but that’s an opinion from the outside looking in (Bolstered by reading Christian critics IN Academia). My brother in law prefers reading 19c literature simply because the split between science and creation, God and man had not yet become today’s chasm. I look forward to checking out your interesting source above.
