Does science render religion obsolete? Are they incompatible? Are miracles possible? Is the idea of design compatible with Darwin's theory of natural selection? This book introduces these and many other issues that arise in the interface between religion and science. Starting with an historical overview, it examine questions of method, authority and language, before looking at key topics, including evolution and design, freedom and determinism, miracles, scientific explanations of religion and what it means to be a human being.In general, the book argues that religion and science are two very different and complimentary ways of looking at and relating to the world, neither of which does itself justice if it tries to claim to be an exclusive source of knowledge.This book retains the text of the previous edition, published by Hodder Education and designed primarily for those in the UK taking A-level examinations in Religious Studies. However, its accessible and open-ended exploration makes it suitable for all readers interested in this subject.
