Two years after the South Asian tsunami, he asserted that "Great natural fruitfulness and great natural disasters are different sides of the same coin." And of course it wasn't God's fault that thousands died horribly. The impression I got from reading his apology was more nasty than nice.Jon Wainwrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-87016034442816872702009-06-16T19:52:27.532+00:002009-06-16T19:52:27.532+00:00He (Polkinghorne, not God) sounds like Dame Julian...He (Polkinghorne, not God) sounds like Dame Julian of Norwich - a medieval Doctor Pangloss.anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-8083775988380141232009-06-16T15:54:22.569+00:002009-06-16T15:54:22.569+00:00Isn't Christina Odone's name 'Christin...Isn't Christina Odone's name 'Christina'? I can't track her down more than that...<br /><br />From my <a href="http://www.bowness.demon.co.uk/serious.htm" rel="nofollow">Review </a> of one of Polkinghorne's books :-<br /><br />' Clearly, Polkinghorne is a very nice man and he needs to believe that the Universe is as nice as he is. In his preface he writes ' that it is a coherent hope that all shall in the end be well.' . In the book Polkinghorne creates a God to fulfil this hope. The God Polkinghorne has created is very like himself. Polkinghorne's God does not know the future but prepares himself for whatever it may bring, just as we do. Polkinghorne's God suffers like we do and has human values of beauty and truth , order and morals'<br /><br />God is created in man's image, so expect the universe to reveal the mind of a person very like Polkinghorne.Steven Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983601793874190779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-29295212576646252162009-06-16T15:04:32.210+00:002009-06-16T15:04:32.210+00:00we're not that bad....we're not that bad....Stephen Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02167317543994731177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-54944234355313435232009-06-16T14:51:42.143+00:002009-06-16T14:51:42.143+00:00"Where every prospect pleases and only man is..."Where every prospect pleases and only man is vile."anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.com
