"I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science"

This quote by John Polkinghorne is stressing the significance of keeping differences in between the doctrine of production and scientific cosmology. He is suggesting that researchers should not attempt to assimilate the ideas of theology to the principles of science. This is because the 2 are basically various and should be dealt with as such. Polkinghorne is suggesting that researchers ought to not try to use clinical cosmology to discuss the doctrine of production, as this would be an oversimplification of the 2. He is stressing the significance of appreciating the distinctions between the 2 and not trying to combine them together. This quote is a tip that science and faith are 2 distinct fields of study and must be treated as such.
