Quarks, Chaos & Christianity: Questions to Science And Religion - Softcover
Templeton Award winner and theoretical physicist John Polkinghorne explores the gap between science and religion. "Do we have to choose between the scientific and religious views of the world, or are they complementary understandings that give us a fuller picture than either on their own would provide?" Quarks, Chaos, & Christianity shows the ways that both science and religion point to something greater than ourselves. Topics include: chaos theory; evolution; miracles; cosmology; guest for God; how God answers prayer; our human nature; religious fact and opinion; scientists and prayer.

From the Back Cover:
In a crystal clear discussion of science and religion and their logical friendship in the search for truth and understanding, Polkinghorne draws on discoveries made in atomic physics to make credible the claims of Christianity, and helps refine Christian perceptions through the knowledge that the new science brings. He discusses belief in God, chaos, evolution, miracles, and prayer, and gives an answer to the question: Can a scientist believe?
About the Author:
John Polkinghorne, a former Cambridge Professor of Mathematical Physics and now President of Queen's College, Cambridge, is an Anglican priest.

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. If C.S. Lewis were a physicist, he might have written this Book. So goes a marketing blurb-- yet we can well believe it. Until 1979 John Polkinghorne was a theoretical particle physicist and professor at Cambridge University. Now he is an Anglican priest who, in a series of books, has written clearly and sensibly on the relationship between science and religion, modern physics and Christianity. Quarks, Chaos, and Christianity is one of the latest and most introductory of these books--a concise, non-technical primer to this important subject. In it he asks (and answers) questions such as ''Why is the world intelligible?'' ''What about miracles?'' and ''Can a scientist pray?'' To Polkinghorne science and religion are natural friends. In part this is so because both enjoin ''motivated belief,'' because the Christian ethos made possible the practice of modern science, and because our ability to understand the physical world is part of the case for religious belief. In short, Polkinghorne finds within the concepts of contemporary physics (chaotic dynamics, emergent properties, the anthropic principle, top down causality, fine tuning, and cosmology) no proof of God's existence, but rather a friendliness to and coherency with traditional Christianity. 102 pp. Seller Inventory # 48780
