Does science pose a challenge to religion and religious belief?
This question has been a matter of long-standing debate - and it
continues to concern not only scholars in philosophy, theology, and
the sciences, but also those involved in public educational policy.
This volume provides background to the current 'science and
religion' debate, yet focuses as well on themes where recent
discussion of the relation between science and religion has been
particularly concentrated. The first theme deals with the history
of the interrelation of science and religion. The second and third
themes deal with the implications of recent work in cosmology,
biology and so-called intelligent design for religion and religious
belief. The fourth theme is concerned with 'conceptual issues'
underlying, or implied, in the current debates, such as: Are
scientific naturalism and religion compatible? Are science and
religion bodies of knowledge or practices or both? Do religion and
science offer conflicting truth claims? By illuminating
contemporary discussion in the science-religion debate and by
outlining the options available in describing the relation between
the two, this volume will be of interest to scholars and to members
of the educated public alike.
