"Belief in God in an Age of Science"

The Vegetarian Butcher
After a successful career as a mathematical physicist and contributing in the discovery of the quark, Polkinghorne felt that he needed to do something else. His decision to become ordained was not immediately welcomed because of the contradictions it supposedly brings, but Polkinghorne believed it gave him an even better perspective for both the religious and scientific communities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-RBaGLtjEc
