God is not a God of the edges, with a vested interest in beginnings. God is the God of the whole show.

If the experience of science teaches anything, it's that the world is very strange and surprising. The many revolutions in science have certainly shown that.

I think it's very important to maintain the classical Christian distinction between the Creator and creation.

At present, too much theological thinking is very human-centered.

I need the binocular approach of science and religion if I am to do any sort of justice to the deep and rich reality of the world in which we live.

Bottom up thinkers try to start from experience and move from experience to understanding. They don't start with certain general principles they think beforehand are likely to be true; they just hope to find out what reality is like.

The remarkable insights that science affords us into the intelligible workings of the world cry out for an explanation more profound than that which itself can provide. Religion, if it is to take seriously its claim that the world is the creation of god, must be humble enough to learn from science what that world is actually like. The dialogue between them can only be mutually enriching.
