God Exists – By: John Lennox
God Exists - By: John Lennox
I believe in the supernatural God who created the heavens and the earth, holding them in existence on the firm basis of rational evidence. The pioneers of modern science saw no contradiction between deep faith and the utmost excellence of rational inquiry. Above the Cavendish laboratory in Cambridge are inscribed the words: "Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them." Men became scientific because they expected law in nature, and they expected law in nature because they believed in a Lawgiver. I am not ashamed of being both a man of science and a Christian, for Christianity gave us the very foundation of scientific inquiry. To ask a man or woman to choose between God and science is like asking them to choose between Henry Ford and engineering as an explanation for the motorcar. Agency does not compete with mechanism. When Isaac Newton discovered his law of gravity, he did not discard God; he wrote the Principia Mathematica, recognizing that divine agency is the ultimate explanation.
