From everything that we've read so far in this class, I found it odd that a theoretical physicist was also a priest. However I rather like John Polkinghorne. I think its great that he can recognize both sides of the argument on the creation of the universe. He feels that humans and animal life are far to complex to have just occured by chance or accident. Science can show us how life works but it cannot fully explain how it was created. Thats where faith and religion comes in.
I feel a lot like the way Polkinghorne feels. I'm not extremely religious but I believe in God and our life here on earth as his creation. I am not disregarding science because experiments and documentation prove most of it to be true. I just think they should leave science to figuring out benefical information for life now and in the future. Trying to figure out how it all began just seems like a never ending argument. I dont think it would benefit us any to know how it happened. All we need to do is know how to keep on going strong.
