| Scientific journalist Nancy Pearcey discusses The Soul of Science: Christian Faith and Natural Philosophy, a book she co-authored with chemist Charles Thaxton. Pearcey asserts that the history of science has been widely misunderstood. Science has not always been a purely naturalistic, deterministic, reductionist endeavor. In fact, most early scientists, including Newton and Descartes, were Christian believers who saw no contradiction between faith and science. Pearcey also discusses current trends in quantum mechanics and physics which are raising serious philosophical questions about the relationship between the human mind and the physical universe. |
