Synopsis

Eighty-one years after America witnessed the Scopes trial over the teaching of evolution in schools, the debate between science and religion continues. In this book six scholars from a variety of disciplines - sociology, history, science and theology - provide new insights into the contemporary dialogue as well as some perspective suggestions for delineating the responsibilities of both the scientific and religious spheres. Why does the tension between science and religion continue? How have those tensions changed during the past one hundred years? How have those tensions impacted the public debate about so-called 'intelligent design' as a scientific alternative to evolution? With wit and wisdom, authors Keith Thomson, Ronald L. Numbers, Kenneth R. Miller, Lawrence W. Krauss, Alvin Plantinga, and Robert Wuthnow address the conflict from its philosophiocal roots to its manifestations within American culture.
