| Kurzbeschreibung |
Science and religious faith are two of the most important and influential forces in human life, yet there is widespread confusion about how, or indeed whether, they link together. This book describes this combination from the perspective of one who finds that they link together productively and creatively |
| 2. Kurzbeschreibung |
"This book demonstrates that modern scientific study of the natural world is at ease with ordinary, mainstream theistic belief. This simple observation is not hard to maintain as a matter of practical reality, but there is more to it than that. The situation is not one of conflict or uneasy tension, or even a respectful dialogue. Rather, a lively and well-founded faith in God provides an outlook on the whole of life, embracing and including science, and scientific ways of thinking. Science is not so much a partner as an activity right in the bloodstream of a reasonable faith. The book interprets theism broadly, and engages carefully with atheism, from a Christian perspective. The aim is to show what science is, and what it is not, while providing some pointers to what theism is or can be. Philosophy, evolution and the nature of science and human life are discussed in Part I, and questions of origins in Part II. The book also discusses what science can say about human life, irrespective of religious concerns. It champions the view that science cannot, and should not, be invoked to demote human capacities such as reason, trust and love to mere delusions or meaningless offshoots of mindless processes. It is not that science fails to explain some things, but rather, it does not explain anything at all, on its own. It is part of a larger explanation. And even explanation has to take a humble place; it is not the purpose of life."--Provided by publisher |
