More quotes by John Lennox

The God of the Bible is not a God of the gaps.

I have a reason for trusting my mind at least in part because it is ultimately the product of the vast intelligence of a personal God as is the Universe out there; and that's why the two match together.

The more we get to know about our universe ... the more the hypothesis that there is a Creator God, who designed the universe for a purpose, gains in credibility as the best explanation of why we are here.

... energy, light, gravity, and consciousness ... You believe in these things because of their explanatory power as concepts. ... God is not a monolith ... God is Himself a fellowship ...

All people are people of Faith. Everybody's got a world view that they believe and this really exposed one of the biggest problems we have in our culture -- that Christians are regarded as people of faith. That means they believe where there's no evidence but atheists -- they're not people of Faith, they're rational and fighting against that is one of the things I've been doing for a long time.
