Would you risk your life on God?

Jack Sagar reflects on John Lennox’s thoughts on science and faith in The Cherwell, one of Oxford’s student newspapers:

People often think that science and religion are at odds, that a scientist’s ability to rationally comprehend the world averts their gaze from the heavens. But the truth is, the inverse is often the case. Newton was a Christian, his faith in God grounded by the mathematical physics he did understand — not in what he couldn’t. As much as the Principia Mathematicais the bedrock for Newton’s faith, Professor John Lennox career as a mathematician here in Oxford has led him to the same conclusion.
