As Christians continue to wrestle with the relationship between religious and science it will be important to listen to a wide-array of voices. Creation is bigger and more complex than our mind can process. To try to do it alone is not wise.
I’d like to make readers aware of a couple of interesting links with which you can interact and discuss. The first is the On Being episode where Krista Tippett interviews quantum physicist John Polkinghorne about quarks, strings, and God. This brilliant man has some fascinating things to say about “knowing” something exists without seeing it. The second is a BioLogos video that shares a clip from the forthcoming documentary “A Leap of Truth” directed by Ryan Pettey. Polkinghorne is part of this as well.

John Polkinghorne is one of a relatively small group of people who have advanced degrees in science and theology. He has written at least a dozen books on the relationships of science and Christianity, all fortunately readable by someone without advanced degrees in science or theology. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak three times at a conference at Messiah College several years ago.
Thanks, Brian. I really enjoyed this. Particularly near the end when he speaks of the soul as a pattern. Blessings.
@Paul: He is a brilliant man. I’d like to read some of his works someday when I have time!
@Chad: You’re welcome!
I am currently reading The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate by John Walton (Wheaton). Not necessarily scientific, but a great perspective on whether Genesis teaches material or functional origins.
Brian, could you do me a favor and delete my comment above? Or at very least erase that it was me? I am trying to erase all vestiges of my real name online and switch everything to a psuedonym. Like an Anakin/Vader thing. Thanks.
