That The Longstanding Antagonism Between Science And Religion Is Irreconcilable Has Been Taken For Granted. And In The Wake Of Recent Controversies Over Teaching Intelligent Design And The Ethics Of Stemcell Research, The Divide Seems As Unbridgeable As Ever.In Science Vs. Religion, Elaine Howard Ecklund Investigates This Unexamined Assumption In The First Systematic Study Of What Scientists Actually Think And Feel About Religion. In The Course Of Her Research, Ecklund Surveyed Nearly 1,700 Scientists And Interviewed 275 Of Them. She Finds That Most Of What We Believe About The Faith Lives Of Elite Scientists Is Wrong. Nearly 50 Percent Of Them Are Religious. Many Others Are What She Calls 'Spiritual Entrepreneurs,' Seeking Creative Ways To Work With The Tensions Between Science And Faith Outside The Constraints Of Traditional Religion. The Book Centers Around Vivid Portraits Of 10 Representative Men And Women Working In The Natural And Social Sciences At Top American Research Universities. Ecklund'S Respondents Run The Gamut From Margaret, A Chemist Who Teaches A Sundayschool Class, To Arik, A Physicist Who Chose Not To Believe In God Well Before He Decided To Become A Scientist. Only A Small Minority Are Actively Hostile To Religion. Ecklund Reveals How Scientistsbelievers And Skeptics Alikeare Struggling To Engage The Increasing Number Of Religious Students In Their Classrooms And Argues That Many Scientists Are Searching For 'Boundary Pioneers' To Cross The Picket Lines Separating Science And Religion.With Broad Implications For Education, Science Funding, And The Thorny Ethical Questions Surrounding Stemcell Research, Cloning, And Other Cuttingedge Scientific Endeavors, Science Vs. Religion Brings A Welcome Dose Of Reality To The Science And Religion Debates.
