EBOOK Science vs Religion What Scientists Really Think
Opis
In the wake of such recent controversies as teaching Intelligent Design and the ethics of stem cell research, greater understanding between scientists and believers is critical. According to a recent national survey, nearly 25% of all Americans think that scientists are hostile to religion. In fact, however, we know little about how scientists engage with religion and spirituality. In this timely volume, Elaine Ecklund fills a void in our knowledge by examining the views of elite natural and social scientists from seven different disciplines at twenty-on top U.S. research universities.
