Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible by Jerry A. Coyne

1.0

I am afraid, Author has not done his homework in this area.

Most of the content is popular journalism. Eg: Global Warming Denial i.e this relates to Political discourse.

Eg: Most Historians of Science reject, Draper's conflict thesis. Why would a Harvard Professor do sloppy work? In addition to this, it's inaccurate

Natural Philosophy i.e contemporary name, "Science", has become specialized. I'd say, the author misses, Big Picture.

If this is the first book you read on this topic, I'm sure you might not have any other content, writings to compare.

I'd not recommend this work, as it is inaccurate.

Please, Check my review on another work: Science and Religion, by Alister E. McGrath

The following would be written by researchers who are interested in the field, and have taken herculean effort.

Finally, I'd suggest more accurate work. This is accurate writing from Special Divine Action Project.

Please Check, Religion and Science, Special Divine Action Project by Oxford University
