| Summary |
Each age has its own crisis - our modern experience of science-religion conflict is not so very different from that experienced by our forebears, Keith Thomson proposes. He considers the ideas and writings of Thomas Jefferson and Charles Darwin, two men who struggled mightily to reconcile their religion and their science, then looks to more recent times when scientific challenges to religion (evolutionary theory, for example) have given rise to powerful political responses from religious believers. |
