Sommario/riassunto

This book addresses a wide range of questions about the relationship between science and religion, providing a beautiful picture of how they can coexist in harmony. The author challenges the widely held idea that there is an inherent conflict between science and religion and analyzes pressing questions that often vex religious believers who wish to engage with the world of science.
