The war between science and religion, being fought mostly in the US, is
unlikely to be much affected by the Pope鈥檚 recent tentative move towards
acceptance of evolution. Edited by Michael Ruse, But Is It Science? (Prometheus,
拢19.50, ISBN 1 57392 087 8) is an impressive survey of the origin of
hostilities and the tactics used in battle, made up of essays by distinguished
warriors on both sides. Fundamentalists now call their case 鈥渃reation science鈥�,
a claim that is considered by philosophers in the last section of a lucid,
fascinating book.
