Harrison Ford has opened up about his religious beliefs and shares his take on “complexity” of human life.
The Star Wars actor said during a recent conversation with THR, “There’s a Protestant theologian named Paul Tillich who wrote that if you have trouble with the word 'God, take whatever is central and most meaningful to your life and call that God.”
He later revealed that his mother was Jewish and his father was a Catholic, meanwhile he was raised as a Democrat.
Harrison added, “But it didn’t apply to a political point of view so much as it applied to nature. I didn’t have any religious construct, but I think nature and God are the same thing. The mysterious origin of life — science tells us how it happened, and prophecy tells us another story.”
The Blade Runner star concluded, “I found that everything in nature — the complexity, the biodiversity, the symbiotic relationships — is the same thing other people attribute to God. … Now aren’t you glad you asked that question? You want to get back to the funny shit?"
Harrison will be next seen in an upcoming movie, Captain America: Brave New World.
