Bibles, Science, and Sanity

Bibles, Science, and Sanity is an insightful account of the endless conflict between science and religion. The author compares historically the dismal failure of theocracies with the progress afforded by science. He attributes the remarkable rise in religious fundamentalism during the past thirty years in America largely to poorly taught science. He examines the demand that any scientific finding that does not agree with biblical accounts must be rejected. The admonition of great scientists like Isaac Newton and Richard Feynman that religion must not determine what is science is emphasized. As a practicing Christian and retired scientist, the author embraces the values of religion but examines Scripture realistically to demonstrate that science and religion serve us best only as separate entities.

Bibles, Science, and Sanity explores the nature of science, the religious thoughts of others, the religious misbehavior of many, and the value of a personal religious belief as professed by our Founding Fathers. It is a construct for citizens who have been concerned about the relentless demands of dogmatists that religion must define science, history, and government.
