Von der hinteren Coverseite

There are few intellectual battles greater than the one currently being waged between faith and science. But must religion and science be such bitter adversaries? Or are these seemingly implacable foes more like natural allies in the search for objective truth? The underlying assumption of Science and Religion in Dialogue is that scientific and religious practices of inquiry can, in fact, be viewed as logically compatible, complementary, and mutually supportive. Edited by philosopher Melville Y. Stewart, this wide-ranging two-volume collection represents the most cutting-edge thinking on topics at the convergence of faith and science. Consisting of 70 articles by eminent scientists and philosophers from the world's most prestigious colleges and universities, issues such as Big Bang cosmology, evolution, Intelligent Design, dinosaurs and creation, and the God-Gene Hypothesis are addressed. The implications of religious beliefs on hot-button scientific issues such as stem-cell research, bioethics, and neuroscience, are also explored, along with topics that delve into the deeper realm of physics such as general and special theories of relativity, dark energy, dark matter, the Multiverse Hypothesis, and Super String Theory.
 
Thought-provoking and enlightening, Science and Religion in Dialogue offers serious non-specialist readers a window on the most current thinking on the complementary truths of science and faith.
