True but Incomplete

I Am a Christian Too on science and religion. (See also Bill Keezer on Intelligent Design and the Anthropic Principle.)

I’m in basic agreement with IACT’s position – science gives us a true picture of the world, but a partial one. The kind of epistemological imperialism practiced by Dawkins, et al. is wholly unjustifiable. Huston Smith once compared it to thinking that a very detailed map of the greater Chicago area could substitute for a map of the United States.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio…

    I published a review of an excellent and interesting paper on the ethical problems of Naturalism. It is in Bill’s Big Stuff. In effect, Dallas Willard undercuts Naturalism as a philosophy.

    Since this is the espoused philosophy of “the Brights” it makes a good counter to them.

    In addition to the posts you link (Thank you very much), I have a number of other posts on this area that are in general agreement with IACT.
