Description

Taking Christian belief as C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity", Alvin Plantinga argues that there is no real conflict between science and Christian belief. He goes on to argue that there is a real conflict between science and naturalism - the thought that there is no such person as God or anything like God. If we take naturalism to be a religion or a quasi-religion, then there is indeed a science-religion conflict; it's not between Christianity and science, however, but between naturalism and science. This lecture was given at the University of British Columbia Gradute and Faculty Christian Forum.
