This fascinating book insightfully surveys the relationship of science, reason, and religion, giving special attention to the most contentious topics -- cosmology, evolution, and miracles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProviding a superb introduction to the philosophy of science, Dowe's \u003ci\u003eGalileo, Darwin, and Hawking\u003c\/i\u003e contends that there are four basic ways to relate science and religion. Two of them, \u003ci\u003enaturalism\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ereligious science\u003c\/i\u003e, present these endeavors as antagonistic. By contrast, an \u003ci\u003eindependence\u003c\/i\u003e view understands them as wholly unrelated. Finally, an \u003ci\u003einteraction\u003c\/i\u003e account sees religion and science as complementary -- perhaps even dependent on one another. Dowe finds this last perspective the most historically and philosophically compelling. He argues his case by exploring the history of science, highlighting the life and work of three scientific giants: Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, and Stephen Hawking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDowe, Phil:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Phil Dowe is senior lecturer in philosophy at theUniversity of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
