God Versus Nature - Frederick M Seiler - Bog

Science Versus Religion Science is based on reason. Religion is based on faith.Reason and faith are fundamentally incompatible, therefore science and religion must be incompatible.Given this basic conflict, a close look at history reveals some puzzling facts: Science was born in a society that believed in many gods (Ancient Greece). Numerous scientific achievements were made in the very religious Islamic world. Modern science was born in a society dominated by Christianity (seventeenth-century Europe). Most scientists in history were religious.How are we to make sense of these facts? How are we to relate them to the broader trajectory of the science/religion relationship from Ancient Greece to the present?That is the subject of this book.
