9780281068739: Introducing Science and Religion: A Path Through Polemic

Synopsis

With Introducing Science and Religion, author Gillian Straine suggests several different paths through the debates that surround science and religion.

These paths offer ways of holding a rational interest in the world and scientific attempts to understand it and a lively and questioning faith in God which takes the Bible seriously.

This book will help you answer the question: can a Christian believe what the scientists say? Gillian Straine considers the big issues around human consciousness, the origins of the universe, evolution and intelligent design helping you understand both sides of the so called 'conflict' and how each throws its own light on the other's approach.
