Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible
In his provocative book, evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne shows why the ways of understanding religion, which is based on faith, dogma, and revelation, lead to incorrect, unverifiable, or contradictory conclusions. When facts are substituted for faith, making the most important decisions about the fate of our world, this harms both individuals and the entire planet. Over the past five centuries, science and religion have gone from violent clashes to conditionally peaceful coexistence. Today, "conciliation" is becoming increasingly popular - the conviction that there is no conflict between science and religion. But is it worth agreeing with this state of affairs?
