It provides an outline of the present science and theology discourse and suggests how a scientific description of the world may be placed within a broad theistic scheme. Modern science has developed in three broad phases: the Scientific Revolution; the rise of geology and Darwin's theory of evolution; and the natural sciences of the 20the century. The first two phases are described through the work of leading scientific figures, from Copernicus to Newton and from Linnaeus to Darwin. Thus setting the scene for a review of the lively science-theology discourse of the past half-century. |
