Science and Religion: A Very Short Introduction by Thomas Dixon
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 107 MB
Overview: The debate between science and religion is never out of the news: Emotions run high, fueled by polemical best sellers like The God Delusion and, at the other end of the spectrum, high-profile campaigns to teach “Intelligent Design” in schools. Yet there is much more to the debate than the clash of these extremes. As Thomas Dixon shows in this balanced and thought-provoking introduction, many have seen harmony rather than conflict between faith and science.He explores not only the key philosophical questions that underlie the debate but also the social, political, and ethical contexts that have made “science and religion” such a fraught and interesting topic in the modern world, offering perspectives from non-Christian religions and examples from across the physical, biological, and social sciences. Along the way, he examines landmark historical episodes such as the trial of Galileo by the Inquisition in 1633, and the famous debate between “Darwin’s bulldog” Thomas Huxley and Bishop Wilberforce in Oxford in 1860.
