Science and Religion, Where the Conflict Really Lies?
Professor Plantinga: Our science and religion is compatible. Christian belief implies that human beings have been created in God's image, but contemporary evolutionary theory says neither God nor anyone else has designed, planned, or intended that human beings come to be. Evolutionary psychology is full of theories that are incompatible with theistic understandings of human beings. Some scientific biblical scholarship argues that historical claims of Christianity, for example, that Jesus rose from the dead, are false, or anyway boundless. But it's a conflict between naturalism and science, not between theistic religion and science.
