What themes have been presented by the author "Science and theology" redirects here. For the 1998 book by John Polkinghorne

 

The theme of religion and science has been evinced, where the controversies and arguments regarding which one is true has been explicated. After centuries of debunking the positions held by a religion, science seems to be awaking to religion's substance as a superior way of understanding the universe. Renowned scientists do not consider religion as having stronger merit than previously thought. Francis Collins stands out as one of the most distinguished scientists who has helped solve many scientific questions about genetic coding. Despite his widely acknowledged devotion to the study of science, Collins has published a book in which he claims that science and belief are compatible. At a personal level, he is a devoted Christian who divides his time between exploring the ways of science and engaging with the many questions of scientific discovery. In his view, modern science is compatible with different aspects of scientific belief. He adds that physics, chemistry, and the biological sciences are part of an elaborate belief system that links to vastly accepted religious positions.
