This book has been written as a response to the increasing
polarisation of the public debate between science and religion. On
one side of the debate, there are the "aggressive atheists", who
claim to represent Science. On the other you have religious
fundamentalists, who amongst other things insist on the literal
truth of Scriptural writings. This view ignores a huge constituency
or people with more moderate views: scientists inspired by a sense
of wonder at what they discover in their daily work, religious
adherents who hold much more tolerant and inclusive views of the
world, or indeed agnostics who either hold no strong view or
acknowledge that they simply "don't know". Many people look to
science or religion for answers because they feel uncertain about
the future. They want nice simple answers that make them feel
secure. This book will not provide simple answers. It will try to
follow Einstein's advice that "Everything should be made as simple
as possible, but not simpler."
