I was keen to talk to a cosmologist who had accepted the prize. Professor John Barrow, based in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, received the Templeton prize in 2006. His response to my email got straight to the heart of why cosmology in particular has implications for my concept of God as those things we cannot know: ‘Most of the fundamental questions in cosmology are unanswerable. In fact, I will talk about some them in a lecture I’m giving this Saturday.’
