Is God a delusion? Are science and Christian faith incompatible? There is a popular myth at large in both modern society and in many churches. According to this myth science and Christianity have been engaged in a long battle over the centuries. For many secularists this means that we must embrace science and reject religion, whilst for some Christians it means the exact opposite. But are science and Christian faith really in a conflict?
Test of Faith looks at the stories of ten respected scientists who share their life stories and their reflections on science and faith. Here's a summary of the chapter by Deborah B. Haarsma, the first of a number of extracts that we'll be publishing over the coming weeks and months, with kind permission of the authors and publishers.
