Challenging the clash between science and faith and what it means to know the world.

This concise critique surveys debates about how natural science relates to religion, showing how evidence and inquiry shape our understanding of nature and creation.

This edition analyzes the limits and reach of science, offering a careful look at arguments that claim science cannot settle questions about God or creation. It explains how scientists and theologians sometimes talk past each other, and why it matters for readers who care about truth, evidence, and the place of science in public life.

Clear explanations of how science gains its knowledge and where its boundaries lie
Plain discussion of how religious views can influence or coexist with scientific inquiry
Examples of how different thinkers reach similar scientific conclusions despite differing beliefs
Careful critique of arguments that claim science must undermine faith or vice versa

Ideal for readers of history, philosophy of science, and religious studies who want a thoughtful, accessible examination of early arguments about science and religion.
