No. Navel-gazing existential claptrap is what it sounds like to me. Science and Religion are like oil and water. The book sounds like GIGA waste of time.
A book review of Quantum Physics and Theology by John Polkinghorne
Quote:
Another shortcoming is that Polkinghorne never really resolves the fundamental difference between science and religion - that science can be replicated, while religion cannot. But, again, this isn't Polkinghorne's point ... but after doing such a good job with the similarities between the two subjects, it would certainly have been nice to have seen him address the fundamental differences as well.
It's not that Polkinghorne isn't aware of the differences, but just that it wasn't the point. This book is short, crisp, and on message: theologians, in their own way, use a scientific-like methodology.
