Frequently, alleged irreconcilable conflicts between science and
religion are instead misdescribed battles concerning negotiable
philosophical assumptions-conflicts between metaphysics and
metaphysics. Hud Hudson provides a two-stage illustration of this
claim with respect to the putative inconsistency between the
doctrines of The Fall and Original Sin and the deliverances of
contemporary science. The tension in question emerges through a
study of the many forms the religious doctrines have assumed over
the centuries and through a review of some well-established
scientific lessons on the origin and history of the universe and of
human persons. The first stage: After surveying various paths of
retreat which involve reinterpreting and impoverishing Original Sin
and minimizing and dehistoricizing The Fall, one version of
moderate realism about the doctrines is articulated, critically
evaluated, and found both consistent with contemporary science and
suitable to play a crucial role in the theist's confrontation with
the Problem of Evil. The second stage: Recent work in the
philosophy of time and in the philosophy of religion provides
intriguing support for a Hypertime Hypothesis (a species of
multiverse hypothesis), distinctive for positing a series of
successive hypertimes, each of which hosts a spacetime block. After
arguing that the Hypertime Hypothesis is a genuine epistemic
possibility and critically discussing its impact on a number of
debates in metaphysics and philosophy of religion, Hudson reveals a
strategy for unabashed, extreme literalism concerning The Fall and
Original Sin which nevertheless has the extraordinary and
delightful feature of being thoroughly consistent with the reigning
scientific orthodoxy.
