I've been reading some of John Polokinghorne. He has a PHD from Cambridge and was a professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge. After years of working in the scientific field he studied to become a Priest in the Church of England.
He has written several books and has been awarded with the Templeton Prize for Science and Religion in 2002.
Here is a website that contains his bio.
John Polkinghorne
From this web site I have provided a link to a lecture that he gave in 1990 that discusses how a man of science can also be a Christian and not find the two in conflict.
God's Action in the World
I know that opening a discussion by just providing links is not the norm but frankly this lecture addresses many of the issues that are raised on this forum such as where is God in the world of physics and biology. I think that it would be difficult to find a person more qualified than Polkinghorne to discuss these issues.
Any forum including Coffee House would be fine with me.
