Extract

The theme, science and Christian theism, is most likely to evoke today a curious mixture of reactions, mostly negative. While a celebration of warfare between science and Christianity is no longer a fare of the day as it was a century ago, Christianity is often taken for a vanquished enemy or for a successfully tamed beast. Such seems to be the case of the relation between science and religion in the Western World where science sprang into prominence a few centuries ago and where an atmosphere of intellectual and religious freedom is a part of daily life.
