No God No Science Illuminations Theory Religion

By Michael Hanby

Book Description

In this substantial work of philosophical theology, Michael Hanby embarks on an ambitious exploration of how Christian creation doctrine intersects with modern scientific understanding. Rather than accepting the conventional separation between faith and empirical inquiry, Hanby challenges readers to reconsider the fundamental relationship between theological wisdom and scientific knowledge.

The author contends that authentic comprehension of our world requires the foundational perspective offered by creation theology, arguing that this ancient doctrine provides essential insight into the very nature of scientific investigation itself. Through rigorous philosophical analysis, Hanby examines how positivist approaches to science and Darwinian evolutionary frameworks have shaped contemporary thinking, often in ways that obscure deeper truths about existence and meaning.

This comprehensive study invites readers into a sophisticated dialogue between theology, metaphysics, and scientific methodology. Hanby presents fresh interpretations of evolutionary biology's philosophical implications while demonstrating how creation doctrine can illuminate rather than contradict genuine scientific understanding. His work suggests that the perceived conflict between religious faith and scientific inquiry stems from incomplete frameworks that fail to recognize their complementary roles in human knowledge.

For those seeking to integrate spiritual wisdom with intellectual rigor, this book offers a thoughtful pathway beyond simplistic either-or thinking. Hanby's approach provides tools for understanding how divine creativity and natural processes can coexist within a unified vision of reality.
