Popular science notions
March 9th, 2010 Posted in Judo ChopsMark Noll, in John Wilson’s Books & Culture email newsletter (which is provided free by Christianity Today and which you really ought to subscribe to, if not the premium online version) has this to say about a book that I really want to read now:
“If you want to keep thinking that medieval Islam was unfriendly to science, that medieval Christians propounded a flat-earth theory, that the church once denounced anesthesia as unscriptural, that Huxley routed Wilberforce in a famous confrontation over Darwin’s “monkey theory,” that the Scopes Trial blew opposition to evolution out of the water, that creation science is a uniquely American phenomenon—then you’d better avoid this book.” (From Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion, edited by Ronald Numbers)
