| Summary: | Drawing on scientific research and logical argument (presented in a generally accessible way), this book rejects the idea that findings from cognitive science weaken, if not completely undermine, religious beliefs and practices. It directly confronts claims about an inevitable conflict between science and religion, that religious belief and practice are basically irrational, and that science can and will replace religion. Rather, it demonstrates that there are more compelling approaches to the relationship between science and religion than conflict or debunking. |
