Religion & beliefs; Philosophy of religion; Christianity; Science: general issues

Despite marked public interest, many leading scientists remain sceptical that there is much common ground between scientific knowledge and religious belief, or that science offers support to any of the fundamental beliefs of the world's religions. In this stimulating collection of articles on the subject, Paul Kurtz and Barry Karr have assembled the thoughts of scientists from various disciplines. At a time when religion threatens to distort the findings of science through Creationism and the Intelligent Design movement, this sceptical rebuttal is a much-needed response. Among the topics discussed are the Big Bang and the origin of the universe, the nature of the 'soul', and near-death experiences.

"""""This is strong stuff... An important counterweight to the accommodationism that has dominated recent discourse."" -- Times Literary Supplement ""Every possible argument about this question seems to be here...stimulating and possibly subversive to some."" -- New Scientist ""An enjoyable buffet for interested readers. . . Recommended."" -- Choice ""...reader-friendly...provide[s] diversified views on topics of much interest today."" -- Albuquerque Journal ""Rich and suggestive essays by such well-known thinkers as Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins and Arthur C. Clarke range over topics from intelligent design to sociobiology and creationism. ... important and provocative voices too often drowned out by the move to assert complete compatibility between science and religion."" --Publishers Weekly"
