Biologists Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins, and Edward O.
Wilson, and physicists Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, and Steven
Weinberg have become public intellectuals, articulating a much
larger vision for science and what role it should play in the
modern worldview. The scientific prestige and literary eloquence of
each of these great thinkers combine to transform them into what
can only be called oracles of science. Curiously, the leading
"oracles of science" are predominantly secular in ways that don't
reflect the distribution of religious beliefs within the scientific
community. Many of them are even hostile to religion, creating a
false impression that science as a whole is incompatible with
religion. Karl Giberson and Mariano Artigas offer an informed
analysis of the views of these six scientists, carefully
distinguishing science from philosophy and religion in the writings
of the oracles.
