title: The Religion and Science Debate: Why Does It Continue? (The Terry Lectures Series)
author: Harold W. Attridge
description: "An accessible volume that provides a window into various points of view within specific disciplines on the relationship of religion and science, this book is an intriguing and easy read, likely to prove useful as a starting point for discussion within university and seminary classrooms."--J./i>--J. Jeanine Thweatt-Bates "Restoration Quarterly "<br /><br />"These essays stimulate thinking about matters of origin and are worth our time to read and ponder."--Mark Mattes, "Currents in Theology and Mission"--Mark Mattes "Currents in Theology and Mission "<br /><br />"[The] book is a useful primer on this debate, giving historical and philosophical perspective as well as scientific evidence. It provides yet another small step toward a future when science education focuses on science, and miracles are not invoked as explanations."--David A Rintoul, "Reports of the National Center for Science Education"--David A Rintoul"Reports of the National Center for Science Education" (01/01/2010)<br /><br />"This is an unusually well-integrated roundtable on a very timely subject."--Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, author of "God's Universe"<BR><BR>--Owen Gingerich<br /><br />"The intellectual bankruptcy of the 'intelligent design' movement is well skewered, but the philosopher Alvin Plantinga gives Dawkins a clobbering, too. Many books are said to be thought-provoking; this truly is."--Andrew Billen, "New Statesman "(Best Books of 2009)--Andrew Billen"New Statesman" (11/30/2009)<br /><br />"All of the contributors adopt a moderate stance--in opposition to extremists from Dawkins to creationists--and the first three lectures (with notes) provide a solid introduction to the topic. . . . Highly recommended."--C. D./i>--C. D. Kay"Choice" (01/01/2010)<br /><br />"This is an excellent guide... All the essays add a new perspective in their own way, and give complementary but different insights into a complex state of affairs."--Nicola Hoggard Creegan, "Stimulus"--Nicola Hoggard Creegan "Stimulus "
