John Polkinghorne Citas

• La ciencia y la religión... son amigas, no enemigas, en la búsqueda común del conocimiento. A algunos les sorprenderá, porque en nuestra sociedad existe la sensación de que las creencias religiosas están pasadas de moda, o son directamente imposibles, en la era científica. Yo no estoy de acuerdo. De hecho, me atrevería a decir que si la gente de esta supuesta "era científica" supiera un poco más de ciencia de lo que muchos de ellos saben en realidad, les resultaría más fácil compartir mis puntos de vista.

• When you realize that the laws of nature must be incredibly finely tuned to produce the universe we see, that conspires to plant the idea that the universe did not just happen, but that there must be a purpose behind it.

• God didn't produce a ready-made world. The Creator has done something cleverer than this, making a world able to make itself.

• 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.

• Theology differs from science in many respects, because of its different subject matter, a personal God who cannot be put to the test in the way that the impersonal physical world can be subjected to experimental enquiry. Yet science and theology have this in common, that each can be, and should be defended as being investigations of what is, the search for increasing verisimilitude in our understanding of reality.

• Quantum theory also tells us that the world is not
  simply objective; somehow it's something more subtle than that. In some
  sense it is veiled from us, but it has a structure that we can
  understand.

• The test of a theory is its ability to cope with all the relevant phenomena, not its a priori 'reasonableness'. The latter would have proved a poor guide in the development of science, which often makes progress by its encounter with the totally unexpected and initially extremely puzzling.

• 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.

• Los teólogos tienen un gran problema porque pretenden hablar de Dios. Puesto que Dios es la base de todo lo que existe, toda investigación humana es, en cierto sentido, materia prima para el molino teológico. Obviamente, ningún teólogo puede saberlo todo.
