Specification frameworks for the philosophy of religion often present ‘science versus religion’ as if the debate raised by Richard Dawkins in the 1990s permanently defined this relationship: we are led to believe that ‘one cannot serve both God and science’. However, many theologians focus on the mutual reliance between science and religion, and many mainstream scientists continue to have some level of religious faith with compatibilist views about the origins of the universe and life. These texts present some of the arguments but largely focus on the more nuanced compatibilist views about how scientific and religious views of origins can complement each other. My students really enjoy engaging with the different arguments and debates around faith and science.
