About the AOSIS published book Science and Faith in Dialogue
Science and Faith in Dialogue presents a cogent, compelling case for concordance between science and theism. Based on scientific and natural theological perspectives, two pillars of natural theology are revisited: the Cosmological Argument and the Argument from Design. Modern science provides undeniable evidence and a scientific basis for these classical arguments to infer a rationally justifiable endorsement of theism as being concordant with reason and science – nature is seen as operating orderly on comprehensible, rational, consistent laws, in line with the conviction that God is Creator.
Naturalistic explanations for the existence of the universe and sentient life are contested by showing that philosophical arguments against the Cosmological Argument and the Argument from Design are weak and that naturalistic theories purported to provide explanations lack explanatory power.
The manuscript illuminates this basic thesis of the book by exploring fascinating natural scientific findings and their implication for world view. The target audience of the book is theological scholars, natural scientists, and science philosophers.
