Summary:

What happens when religious faith meets scientific facts? Many believe that conflict defines the relationship between science and religion, especially the Christian religion. But the war between faith and science is a myth--a popular myth--that has endured for too long. By investigating the root of this myth and reexamining its classic stories, this book offers a more accurate picture of the relationship between science and religion. --publisher description.
