| Summary: | In this article Hal Poe explores some of the problems in the debate between science and religion. The fascination with science today and the remarkable changes we have seen as a result of scientific progress suggest in the minds of some that most of the problems we face can be overcome through new discoveries. Yet there are also people of faith who argue that religion holds the answers to humankind's problems. Poe argues that reductionism is a modern tendency that only adds to further confusion in the relation of science and faith. He argues that both liberal and conservative Christians have created a barrier to the hearing of the gospel by scientifically informed people and offers a positive suggestion toward resolving some of the tension. |
