On Plantinga's "Where the Conflict Really Lies: Science, Religion, and Naturalism"

Monroe, MI

One of the books I am now reading is theistic philosopher Alvin Plantinga's Where the Conflict Really Lies: Science, Religion, and Naturalism.

There's a nice review of it here.

The central claims of Where the Conflict Really Lies are the following:

1. There is no conflict between theistic religion and the scientific theory of evolution.
2. There is no conflict between science and the common theistic belief that there have been miracles.
3. There are superficial conflicts between Christian belief and evolutionary psychology, on the one hand, and scientific scripture scholarship, on the other, but these conflicts don't provide defeaters for Christian belief.
4. There is deep concord between science and theistic religion.
5. There is deep conflict between science and naturalism.
