Belligerents or Brothers?

Are Science and Christian Faith at Odds?

Are science and Christianity at war? Although several prominent thinkers like Dawkins and Hawkins think so—and the media likes to spin that view out—Prof. Ian Hutchinson of MIT disagrees. Drawing from personal experience as a scientist and professor at MIT, as well as the vast resources of history and philosophy of science, Ian Hutchinson produces a compelling argument that methodically takes down the view that science and faith are at war—and instead suggests that they might, in fact, be brothers. Prof. Hutchinson is the author of the recent book "Monopolizing Knowledge: A Scientist Refutes Religion-denying, Reason-destroying Scientism."
