Scientific and religious worldviews: Antagonism, non-antagonistic incommensurability and complementarity

Abstract

This article reviews three basic ways in which the relationship between Abrahamic religion and science has been construed: as fundamentally antagonistic; as non-antagonistically incommensurable; and as complementary. Unfortunately, while each construal seems to offer benefits to the religious believer, none, as the article demonstrates, is without considerable cost. © The author 2006.
