Coyne provides a hopeful antidote to the polarizing nature of the science vs. religion debate, and his careful approach and non-anxious tone make for a lovely read on this important topic. However, Coyne tends to underestimate the mythic nature of religion. Coyne rightly points out that religion makes truth claims, and to the degree that those truth claims are improvable or illogical, they can be rightly challenged or sometimes discarded. But the problem is that so many of religion's truth claims rest not just on factual truth but on mythic, narrative, and psychological truths. Disentangling those isn't as easy as presenting alternative facts, and it isn't helpful to insist otherwise. Nonetheless, I heartily recommend this book to everyone wishing to explore the great science vs. religion debate.
