Review # 2 was written on 2011-08-29 00:00:00 Elizabeth Schafer "I can't see God--so I can't believe in the Creator" has been a common objection to Christianity [and other theistic worldviews]. However, I REALLY liked the example John Polkinghorne, Anglican priest, former Professor of Mathematical Physics and past President of Queen's College, Cambridge, England gave when he mentioned how we can't see quarks and gluons [the most basic constituents of matter that are currently known to us] either, but we can see their effects. The same with God. Now, this thin, 53-page book, "Traffic in Truth," covers the cross-border traffic and occasional border war between science and theology. He simply mentions how each side is often specifically skeptical and misunderstands the other, but he also shows how their integration is a viable goal and offers exciting panoramas. I personally am a bit uncertain as to how to view the age of the Earth, and Polkinghorne states his personal view, but there are various reasons as to why I believe as I do. This being said, I still greatly appreciate the clarity and simplicity his book reads. It gives me some ideas how to challenge both theists AND scientists to consider the other perspective as they finish high school [and beyond] and choose their future careers and outlook on life.
