Science and Creation by John Polkinghorne
The second volume of a trilogy written by an internationally renowned priest-scientist, this book addresses fundamental questions about how scientific and theological worldviews relate to each other. It illustrates how a scientifically minded person approaches the task of theological inquiry.For far too long the science-religion debate has been dominated-even clouded-by questions of biological evolution thrown up in the nineteenth century, while the transformation of the physical world in the twentieth has often seemed strangely irrelevantThis book epitomizes a welcome trend to redress the balance. . . . [It] is to be warmly recommended to all who seek to enrich the dialogue between science and theology.
