John Polkinghorne

I liked this video because it showed the other side to the belief of a God. All the videos we have watched in this class so far have been about how there is no possibility of God existing. It was nice to see the other side of the coin, so to speak, and analyze more than just the “scientific” view. Polkinghorne is a intellectual person that has been in the scientific community for a while yet still holds on to his belief in God. He is able to see the workings of God in science and see how He fits into the natural world that we live in.

One of the topics brought up was of some interest to me. It was the belief some hold tht everyone will go to heaven regardless of their beliefs. They would argue this is because of God’s love. However there is no evidence whatsoever in the Bible to support that type of belief. It is clear that some people will go to hell. It is necessary to believe in God and believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that He is God and that God raised Him from the dead. This is what the Bible teaches; people who do not believe this will go to hell. This is not meant to be cruel to people it is to continue giving them what they had during life; a life separated from God.
