For example, it is claimed that to find the age of the Earth religious people look to holy scripture and scientists look at the age of rocks. This book shows that this is indeed true among the elites who focus on this debate. However, contrary to the assumptions of elites and public discourse in general, that same relationship and conflict does not exist between religious citizens and science. This book shows that regular religious people in the U.S. are at most in conflict over a few fact claims with science, and that this limited conflict does not lead to conflict with scientific claims writ large. More importantly, American religion has changed since the 1960s, de-emphasizing knowledge claims about the physical world, and becoming more focused on social relationships and thus morality. This book shows that any religion and science debate in the public is not about scientific claims about nature, such as the age of the Earth, but rather about morality - and opposition to the morality implicitly promoted by scientists"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aEthics$xSocial aspects 606 $aReligion and science$zUnited States$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aclimate change. 610 $acomparative religion. 610 $aconservative politicians. 610 $aconservative religious americans. 610 $acontemporary religion. 610 $afactual claims. 610 $afundamental conflicts. 610 $amaking claims. 610 $amoral conflict. 610 $amorality. 610 $anature. 610 $areligion vs science. 610 $areligious ethics. 610 $areligious people. 610 $ascience. 610 $ascientific findings. 610 $ascientists. 610 $asociology and religion. 615 0$aEthics$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aReligion and science 676 $a201/.650973 700 $aEvans$b John Hyde$f1965-$01025790 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996312641703316 996 $aMorals Not Knowledge$92439558 997 $aUNISA
