Science and religion

Submitted by Rebecca on Mon, 02/12/2007 - 9:17am.

Before I forget I would like to channel Sandra M. Faber for the salon on Wednesday.

 

The discussion of earlier physicists using physics as evidence for the divine reminded me of theories of intelligent design that exist in biology.  Intelligent design is an alternative theory to evolution that explains since all the pieces of life fit together in a way that there must be a designer as opposed to a series of random natural events.  It is not considered scientific and is not respected in the biological community.  This and other theories I have learned had lead to me to believe science and religion are at odds with each other.  However, the discussion of physics in the Wertheim article distinguished for me religion based on science from a science based on religion.
