  1. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    Can we ask with Richard Feynman: 'What is the meaning of it all?' Or was Bertrand Russell right when he said that 'The universe is just there, and that's all'?

  2. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    The existence of a limit to science is, however, made clear by its inability to answer childlike elementary questions having to do with first and last things – questions such as: "How did everything begin?" "What are we all here for?" "What is the point of living?".

  3. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    The teaching of morality likewise lies outside science. Science can tell you that, if you add strychnine to someone's drink, it will kill them. But science cannot tell you whether it is morally right or wrong to put strychnine into your grandmother's tea so that you can get your hands on her property.

  5. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    faith and evidence are inseparable. Indeed, faith is a response to evidence, not a rejoicing in the absence of evidence. The Christian apostle John writes in his biography of Jesus: 'These things are written that you might believe…'5 That is, he understands that what he is writing is to be regarded as part of the evidence on which faith is based. The apostle Paul says what many pioneers of modern science believed, namely, that nature itself is part of the evidence for the existence of God: 'For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.'6 It is no part of the biblical view that things should be believed where there is no evidence.

  6. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    Is the world divided into mind and matter, and, if so, what is mind, what is matter? Is mind subject to matter, or is it possessed of independent powers? Has the universe any unity or purpose? Is it evolving towards some goal? Are there really laws of nature, or do we believe in them only because of our innate love of order? Is man what he seems to the astronomer, a tiny lump of impure carbon and water impotently crawling on a small and unimportant planet? Or is he what he appears to Hamlet? Is there a way of living that is noble and another that is base, or are all ways of living merely futile? … To such questions no answers can be found in the laboratory.'23

    Der wesentliche Punkt ist hier, dass Menschen mit szientistischem Gedankengut wie Atkins oder Dawkins nicht unterscheiden zwischen Mechanismus und Urheberschaft.

  8. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    chimp may share 98 per cent of its DNA with ourselves but it is not 98 per cent human: it is not human at all – it is a chimp. And does the fact that we have genes in common with a mouse, or a banana say anything about human nature? Some claim that genes will tell us what we really are. The idea is absurd.'11

  9. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    one should always be careful to record all the evidence against one's theories; indeed, one should bend over backwards to consider it, since the easiest person to fool is oneself.

  10. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    Men became scientific because they expected law in nature and they expected law in nature because they believed in a lawgiver.

  11. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    we should be humble enough to distinguish between what the Bible says and our interpretations of it.

  12. John C. Lennox _ God's Undertaker: Has Science

    Perhaps there is a subtle danger today that, in their desire to eliminate the concept of a Creator completely, some scientists and philosophers have been led, albeit unwittingly, to re-deify the universe by endowing matter and energy with creative powers that they cannot be convincingly shown to possess. Banishing the One Creator God they would then end up with what has been described as the ultimate in polytheism – a universe in which every particle has god-like capacities.
