Providing a superb introduction to the philosophy of science, Dowebs "Galileo, Darwin, and Hawking" contends that there are four basic ways to relate science and religion. Two of them, "naturalism" and "religious science," present these endeavors as antagonistic. By contrast, an "independence" view understands them as wholly unrelated. Finally, an "interaction" account sees religion and science as complementary -- perhaps even dependent on one another. Dowe finds this last perspective the most historically and philosophically compelling. He argues his case by exploring the history of science, highlighting the life and work of three scientific giants: Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, and Stephen Hawking.
