Christian Theology Quotes

“John Polkinghorne (born 1930) comments on this point as follows: We are so familiar with the fact that we can understand the world that most of the time we take it for granted. It is what makes science possible. Yet it could have been otherwise. The universe might have been a disorderly chaos rather than an orderly cosmos. Or it might have had a rationality which was inaccessible to us. […] There is a congruence between our minds and the universe, between the rationality experienced within and the rationality observed without.”
