At the interface between science and faith

There are several possible models of science/faith interaction. The fires of the warfare model continue to be stoked by the extremes of Dawkins and Atkins versus anti-scientific modes of biblical literalism. However, in Kirsten Birkett's phrase, Science and Christianity are 'unnatural enemies'. Approaches in terms of complementarity and integration are strongly to be preferred, and have been the guiding theistic philosophy of giants of physical science, such as Kepler, Faraday, Clark Maxwell, J.J. Thomson, Schawlow, Isham and Pople.
