Science and Metaphysic.

John Polkinghorne and his book ? Quantum theory?.

[snip rest of crap]

1) "Because scientific experiments work very hard to eliminate
extraneous influences, he believes that they are thus highly atypical
of what goes on in nature."

2) He also regards the mind, soul and body as different aspects of
the same underlying reality - "dual aspect monism" - "there is only
one stuff in the world (not two - the material and the mental) but it
can occur in two contrasting states (material and mental phases, a
physicist might say) which explain our perception of the difference
between mind and matter."

3) If any of that were not purest bullshit, 300 million outraged
Windows sufferers would reduce Bill Gates to a smoking crater 1000
times/day.

4)"Sometimes Christianity seems to him to be just too good to be
true"

idiot

5) "Polkinghorne's books show 'supreme contempt for philosophical
reasoning and historical thinking'."

idiot
