Are science and evolution compatible? Or is the empirical nature of science flatly contradictory to the revelatory nature of faith?  I wrote an article on this topic in the latest issue of The New Republic.  My article is centered on two recent books about science, creationism, and faith, Karl Giberson’s Saving Darwin: How to be a Christian and Belive in Evolution, and Ken Miller’s Only a Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America’s Soul. You can find my analysis of these book and a broader discussion of the disharmony between science and religion here.  My piece also been posted for discusson on the Edge webpage, with various heavy hitters weighing in on the issue and my article; that discussion is here.
