says
Good Morning Sunday and welcomes his special guest. Professor Arnold Wolfendale , the Astronomer Royal. As a Christian and commenting (in last April's Times ) on the latest evidence for the birth of the universe,
Professor Wolfendale says, "We should regard the observations as providing another piece of the cosmic jigsaw, which is allowing us to evolve a theory of everything. I see nothing to militate against the existence of God in any of the work that has been done; the reverse, perhaps." Many scientists say that science can only go so far in answering the question of the universe's creation. Professor
Wolfendale explains: "I feel that religion is a completely different dimension, not susceptible to scientific proof."
