A distinguished scholar urges scientists and religious thinkers to
become colleagues rather than adversaries in areas where their
fields overlap Each age has its own crisis-our modern experience of
science-religion conflict is not so very different from that
experienced by our forebears, Keith Thomson proposes in this
thoughtful book. He considers the ideas and writings of Thomas
Jefferson and Charles Darwin, two men who struggled mightily to
reconcile their religion and their science, then looks to more
recent times when scientific challenges to religion (evolutionary
theory, for example) have given rise to powerful political
responses from religious believers. Today as in the eighteenth
century, there are pressing reasons for members on each side of the
religion-science debates to find common ground, Thomson contends.
No precedent exists for shaping a response to issues like cloning
or stem cell research, unheard of fifty years ago, and thus the
opportunity arises for all sides to cooperate in creating a new
ethics for the common good.
