Quarks, Chaos & Christianity by John C. Polkinghorne
Questions to Science and Religion
A thoughtful, accessible exploration of how contemporary physics and Christian theology can inform one another: it surveys quantum mechanics, chaos theory, and the limits of reductionism to argue that scientific indeterminacy and emergent complexity provide conceptual space for meaningful divine action without contravening natural law. The essays critique both scientism and literalist readings of scripture, advocate a modest, intellectually responsible theology open to scientific insight, and propose that faith and reason are complementary ways of making sense of reality.
