As for science and religion, you have to… and there are all these people who… well, I think that Polkinghorne believes in God but I think about half the people who got that prize have no interest in God whatsoever but they managed to get a million bucks out of it.

In 1962 he became an Associate Professor of Physics at New York University, and later a Professor of Physics at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, a position he continues to hold. He was also on the staff of The New Yorker magazine.
