Have science and religion finally been reconciled? Or is all the activity just so much sound and fury signifying nothing?

Yet the skepticism of authors such as John Caiazza is also ungrounded. I describe five major types of approaches that are being employed in the recent literature. These methods have led to a deeper understanding of the commonalities between science and religion and have produced new productive partnerships between them. |
