The Religious Dimension in Scientific Speculation

 by

GLENN STATILE

 

1)      The Great Divorce

From Augustine to Galileo to Stephen Jay Gould there has been a recurring effort to highlight the reasons why science and religion should retreat to neutral corners.  G.K. Chesterton once described his relationship to his brother Cecil as one long continuous argument which somehow still managed to escape the friction that so often accompanies fraternal quarrels.  Likewise, civility should always govern whatever passes for dialogue, however vigorous, between the complementary disciplines of science and religion.  Yet as we all know, quite often this is not the case.  In Andrew Dickson White’s extremely influential book entitled A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom (1896) a metaphorical word portrait paints human progress as a river whose freedom of flow is stifled by the icy chill of dogmatic theology.  Whereas some perceive the need to advocate for a proper marriage between science and religion, others clamor for a quick divorce.
