About this title

Synopsis

Does profound disagreement on the 'big questions' of origins, proof, the meaning of life and our place in the universe mean that faith and science must be constantly at war? Here Oxford University's Professor of Science and Religion argues that both worldviews can coexist peacefully and shares his personal journey to a faith enriched by scientific understanding; identifies errors in atheists' criticism of religion; and suggests that even apparently irreconcilable views about Darwinism can be mutually enriching.
