Science and religion are often thought to be advancing
irreconcilable goals and thus to be mutually antagonistic. Yet in
the often acrimonious debates between the scientific and religious
communities, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that both science
and religion are systems of thought and knowledge that aim to
understand the world and our place in it.
Webs of Reality is a rare examination of the interrelationship
between religion and science from a social science perspective,
offering a broad view of the relationship, and posing practical
questions regarding technology and ethics. Emphasizing how science
and religion are practiced instead of highlighting the differences
between them, the authors look for the subtle connections, tacit
understandings, common history, symbols, and implicit myths that
tie them together. How can the practice of science be understood
from a religious point of view? What contributions can science make
to religious understanding of the world? What contributions can the
social sciences make to understanding both knowledge systems?
Looking at religion and science as fields of inquiry and habits of
mind, the authors discover not only similarities between them but
also a wide number of ways in which they complement each other.
