“If we are seeking to serve the God of truth then we should really welcome truth from whatever source it comes. We shouldn’t fear the truth. Some of it will be from science, obviously, but by no means all of it. It will sometimes be perplexing, how this bit of truth relates to that bit of truth; we know that within science itself often enough, and we find it outside of science as well. The crucial thing is to be honest.”

Sir John Polkinghorne, Ph.D.
