037 - Chap 12 - From Magic to Chemistry and Physics - Section 2

In the 21st Century, weve witnessed a significant resurgence of skepticism towards science, particularly among Evangelicals. However, this conflict between science and religion is far from new. In the late 1800s, author Andrew Dickson White asserted that any interference with science in the name of religion, regardless of intent, has historically led to dire consequences for both realms. Conversely, he argued that unimpeded scientific inquiry, even when seemingly threatening to religious beliefs, ultimately fosters the greatest advancements for both science and faith. In this volume, White chronicles the gradual liberation of science from theological constraints across various fields. Yet, his work has faced criticism from modern scholars. Historian Ronald Numbers has pointed out that Whites narratives often lean more towards propaganda than accurate history. Notably, Mark Twain regarded this book highly, marking his personal copy with extensive notes, as he found it illuminating how earlier theologians often lacked sound reasoning.
