God Is Not A God Of The

I Very Much Enjoyed My Career In Science. I Didn't Leave Science Because I Was Disillusioned, But Felt I'd Done My Bit For It After About Twenty-five Years.

However, As The Eastern Churches Have Always Maintained, Through Christ Creation Is Intended Eventually To Share In The Life Of God, The Life Of Divine Nature.

The Remarkable Insights That Science Affords Us Into The Intelligible Workings Of The World Cry Out For An Explanation More Profound Than That Which Itself Can Provide. Religion, If It Is To Take Seriously Its Claim That The World Is The Creation Of God, Must Be Humble Enough To Learn From Science What That World Is Actually Like. The Dialogue Between Them Can Only Be Mutually Enriching.

Science And Religion...are Friends, Not Foes, In The Common Quest For Knowledge. Some People May Find This Surprising, For There's A Feeling Throughout Our Society That Religious Belief Is Outmoded, Or Downright Impossible, In A Scientific Age. I Don't Agree. In Fact, I'd Go So Far As To Say That If People In This So-called 'scientific Age' Knew A Bit More About Science Than Many Of Them Actually Do, They'd Find It Easier To Share My Views.

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.
