Where The Conflict Really Lies : Science, Religion, & Naturalism.

---

Overview: A long-awaited major statement by perminent analytic philosopher Alvin Plantinga, this book illuminates one of our society's biggest debates-the conflict between science and religion. Plantinga examines where this conflict is said to exist-looking at areas such as evolution, divine action in the world, and the scientific study of religion-and he considers claim by Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, and Philip Kitcher that evolution and theistic belief cannot co-exist. He makes a case that their arguments are not only inconclusive, but that the supposed conflicts themselves are superficial, due to the methodological naturalism used by science. On the other hand, science can actually offer support to theistic doctrines-for instance, some versions or interpretations of quantum mechanics provide useful models for divine action. He goes on to outline the deep and massive consonance between theism and the entire scientific enterprise. In the last chapter, Plantina argues that one can't rationally or sensibly accept both current evolutionary theory and naturalism, the thought that there is no such person as God or anything like God. The book concludes that there is superficical conflict but deep concod between science and religion, in particular theistic religion, and superficial concord but deep conflict between science and naturalism.
