Note: Each week we will post a brief excerpt from an article that deals with some of the BIG issues of our faith. We do not intend to stir up arguments or controversy, but rather to engage in a healthy discussion of relevant issues.  So please act respectfully as we dive deeper into the Scriptures. 

CURRENT TOPIC : Creation & Evolution/Religion & Science

From John Polkinghorne - Physicist
No one has ever seen a quark, and we believe that no one ever will.  …  Why, then, do I believe in these invisible quarks?...In summary, it’s because quarks make sense of a lot of direct physical evidence…I wish to engage in a similar strategy in regard to the unseen reality of God. His existence makes sense of many aspects of our knowledge and experience: the order and fruitfulness of the physical world; the multilayered character of reality; the almost universal human experiences of worship and hope; the phenomenon of Jesus Christ (including his resurrection).  I think that very simlar thought processes are involved in both cases.  I do not believe that I shift in some strange intellectual way when I move from science to religion…In their search for truth, science and faith are intellectual cousins under the skin.

Over the next several weeks, we will be continuing this discussion with updated posts & viewpoints.
