science & providence: god's interaction with world

Question 1

brief look at another polkinghorne book

Answer 1

• key concept for most christians is that of god’s ‘providence’ which is belief god has chosen to provide for, create, nurture humanking & religious thinkers make this a key factor in their understanding of god
• in science & providence he suggests that without special providence the idea of a personal god of christianity has no content & by special providence we mean god seeks to meet individual needs
• god does this by influencing events undectably at quantum level since at this level everything is influenced at our level then god can intervene
