Science and Religion: Are they compatible? Edited by Paul Kurtz, Prometheus Books, $20, ISBN 1591020646 Reviewed by Roy Herbert
EVERY possible argument about this question seems to be here, and it will take hours of quiet weighing up the points for and against to make a decision 鈥� if you feel you must. In Science and Religion Paul Kurtz contributes a masterly overview of the events that have led to continuing dissension about the origin of the Universe and ourselves. After that it鈥檚 a matter of wrestling with a collection of articles by distinguished scientists and authors on a subject whose ramifications are astonishing, and range from Galileo鈥檚 discoveries to the latest religious concept of 鈥渋ntelligent design鈥�. Stimulating, and possibly subversive to some.
