John Killingbeck认为科学与宗教之间存在根本冲突,科学家无法用科学解释无法解释的问题,而将其归因于神。 Paul Bloom认为科学通过观察、实验和可证伪的假设发现隐藏的真理,而宗教在这方面没有可比的记录。 Sean Carroll认为科学与宗教是水火不容的,两者看待世界的方式截然不同。 Alistair McGrath认为科学和宗教是西方文化的重要组成部分,两者需要相互对话,相互补充,共同构成对世界的完整理解。他认为,许多早期科学家都是虔诚的基督徒,他们的信仰影响了他们的科学发现;伽利略事件并非简单的宗教与科学的冲突,而是教会内部不同派系之间的权力斗争;达尔文的进化论并不一定与基督教信仰冲突;科学无法定义道德,因为科学测量与道德之间没有必然联系;科学可以丰富对宗教教义的理解;相信上帝是明智和合理的,因为这可以解释许多难以理解的现象,例如对超越事物的渴望和内在的道德感。 John Dixon 梳理了科学与宗教关系的多个方面,包括早期科学家的宗教信仰,伽利略和达尔文事件的复杂性,以及信仰的本质。他强调信仰并非盲目,而是基于证据、见证和权威的理性信任。

The episode explores the misconception that science and religion are fundamentally in conflict, introducing Alister McGrath's perspective on their complementary nature.

Shownotes Transcript

It’s a popular misconception. If science is your guiding light, you’re going to see the world a particular way. And if you hold to religion well, you’re going to imagine the world a particular way. At least that’s how it seems.

But Alister McGrath is the Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University, and he makes a pretty convincing case that, while science and religion are fundamentally different, they remain complementary. 

So what does Alister do with the all the objections scientists throw at him? Play them back with a perfectly straight British bat. Tune in and tally the score for yourself!
