| Abstract: | This lecture will consider the general relationship between science and religion, examining a number of ways of understanding their relationship. The lecture will focus especially on three ways of conceiving that relationship, which allow them to be seen as complementary accounts of reality, or as mutually enriching ways of understanding the world. The argument of the lecture will be developed primarily in dialogue with philosophers and scientists, although we shall appeal to C.S. Lewis’s notion of the imaginative fecundity of faith in setting the discussion in context. The lecture will not deal with historical aspects of the question, which will be covered in Prof Peter Harrison’s lecture Religious origins of modern science? |
