Résumé : |
What is the nature of our world - and man’s role in it? These questions have been at the heart of the conflict between science anil religion for over three hundred years. In a contest where both combatants claim exclusive access to the truth, the scientists seem to have won.
SCIENCE AND RELIGION explains why the conflict arose and how it developed over the centuries. Resenting a dear and absorbing account of the stunning discoveries in modern physics as they relate to metaphysical questions and traditional religious views, the author challenges the popular view of science and religion as pitifully unequal contestants in a battle for the hearts and minds of modern man. He argues persuasively that both have important and complementary roles to play in helping man to understand his place and purpose in the universe. |
