## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fascinating Book for the Mind Curious About Reconciling Faith with Science.
*by B***S on October 9, 2013*

Polkinghorne does an excellent job of explaining complex theories of Physics, such as Quantum Mechanics and Chaos Theory, in a way that a non-scientist can understand. He then discusses how some scientists believe that our knowledge of the physical world and the laws of nature are evidence that there is no God. Polkinghorne, both a scientist and an Anglican priest, argues that the knowledge we have of the physical world only answers the "how" questions but cannot answer the "why" questions and therefore is too narrow a view. An example he uses to illustrate this is by posing the question, "Why is the water boiling?" Science can answer the question by describing the physical reactions which take place to cause this. But an equally correct answer to the question would be, "I wanted to make some tea." Polkinghorne uses many vivid examples such as this to integrate for the reader his Christian faith with the world of Physics. This was a great read for my curious, non-scientist mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good overall intro. to the better apologetics arguments
*by F***R on October 30, 2009*

Exploring the world of Christian apologetics is like shopping at Wal-Mart. There is a huge variety of products to choose from, but many of them are of dubious quality. For readers searching for a brief introduction to the better arguments for the existence of God, the veracity of the New Testament writings, plausible answers to the problem of evil, etc., Polkinghorne's book is a valuable guide. On the other hand, those who are more acquainted with the subject will find it dreadfully basic.This book touches on subjects such as evolution, the Strong Anthropic Principle, quantum mechanics, chaos theory, the role of prayer, the free will argument, and the Gospel accounts of Jesus' resurrection. Polkinghorne offers a brief summary of the major issues, then explains why he believes there are credible reasons to believe in God. He explores how the indeterminacy in natural systems allows room for human freedom, as well as subtle influences by a Divine Hand. He also faces challenges to theism, such as the problem of evil, unanswered prayers and the alleged conflict between science and religion. He acknowledges the thorniness of the issues, outlines the points of controversy, then shows why he maintains his faith despite, or in some cases because of, the uncertainties of life.A number of things especially delighted me. First, he openly acknowledges that evolution really did occur, although like me he believes that the question of what drives it is far from settled. He affirms his belief in a Deity who experiences the flow of time, a controversial position which nonetheless has numerous advantages over the traditional conception of God. He also dispenses with the approach to the Bible employed by fundamentalists, by recognizing that the scriptures are comprised of widely varying writing styles. He points out that they contain examples of drama, poetry, hyperbole and other literary devices that often sacrifice "literal" truth in order to communicate a symbolic or spiritual message. In so doing he sets himself apart from the likes of Norman Geisler and Josh McDowell, who try to turn the Bible into a scientific textbook or a formal historical account.Overall I recommend this book for those new to apologetics. For parties desiring further study, Polkinghorne lists more advanced works in the appendix. The seasoned student would do well to consult those volumes rather than this one, unless they need a review of basic concepts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book on this topic of religion and science
*by T***N on March 13, 2021*

At times it was a little bit heavy, but honestly it was a great read and book for our church discussion. It really helps to have scientists who are also Christians to be with you to help with Quantum physics and stuff.
