Teaching statements




"If miracles get on our nerves, then we have Newtonian not Einsteinian nerves. For us, living in the wake of Einstein's revolution in physics, the universe is no longer a tight, safe, predictable playing field in which we know all the rules. Since Einstein, no modern has had the right to rule out the possibility of events because of prior knowledge of `natural law.'"

John Warwick Montgomery, "How do we know there is a God?" and other questions inappropriate in polite society, p. 14
