Science and Religion (2010): Are They Compatible? (Point/Counterpoint)

4.20 out of 5 stars

Description

A fiery debate rages on, with no signs of abating: can science and religion find common ground? In Science and Religion: Are They Compatible?, two intellectual heavyweights, Daniel C. Dennett and Alvin Plantinga, engage in a spirited exchange that began with a thrilling live debate at the 2009 American Philosophical Association Central Division conference. This thought-provoking discussion is sure to inspire critical thinking in students. Plantinga kicks off the conversation by arguing that Christianity can coexist with evolutionary theory, proposing that God created the world and may have used evolution as the means to do so. Dennett swiftly counters with a scathing rebuttal, prompting Plantinga to respond, and then Dennett to counter again. The back-and-forth culminates in final statements from both sides. As seasoned philosophers, the authors bring their exceptional critical thinking skills to the table, offering a masterclass in constructive disagreement. This book is a must-read for students of philosophy of religion, science and religion, and philosophy of science, as well as anyone intrigued by the intersection of faith and reason.
