Science and religious faith are two of the most important and
influential forces in human life, yet there is widespread confusion
about how, or indeed whether, they link together. This book
describes this combination from the perspective of one who finds
that they link together productively and creatively. The situation
is not one of conflict or uneasy tension, or even a respectful
dialogue. Rather, a lively and well-founded faith in God embraces
and includes science, and scientific ways of thinking, in their
proper role. Science is an activity right in the bloodstream of a
reasonable faith. The book interprets theism broadly, and engages
carefully with atheism, while coming from a Christian perspective.
The aim is to show what science is, and what it is not, and at the
same time give some pointers to what theism is or can be.
Philosophy, evolution and the nature of science and human life are
discussed in the first part of the book, questions of origins in
the second. It is the very mind-set of scientific thinking that is
widely supposed to be antagonistic to religious faith. But such
suspicions are too sweeping. They misunderstand both faith and
science. Faith can be creative and intellectually courageous;
science is not the all-embracing story that it is sometimes made
out to be. It is not that science fails to explain some things, but
rather, it does not explain anything at all, on its own. It is part
of a larger explanation. And even explanation has to take a humble
place; it is not the purpose of life.
