Title : God facing science - Claude Allègre - book
Summary :
One of France's greatest scientists answers a key question of our time: how to reconcile science and faith? Their relationship has always been the subject of violent conflict. From Galileo to Darwin, from the aggressive positivism of the last century to current debates over birth control, science and the churches struggle to establish the boundaries that separate them.
As a matter of principle and method, science refuses to include a supernatural force in its explanation of the world. Does it, however, have the power to deny the existence of God? Does the need to find meaning in life and the sometimes harmful consequences of scientific advances not open up a broad future for religions, and in some cases for fundamentalisms?
These are the questions that this book attempts to address, by reviewing the history of some of the great adventures of science: the rotation of the Earth, the evolution of species, the appearance of life.
