Summary:

This article challenges its readers to ponder whether so-called “scientific” and “religious” worldviews are compatible at all. It pushes against an “easy” answer of mutual accomodation, and argues instead that the two views are essentailly antithetical. This is not a happy conclusion for those who wish to reconcile their religious beliefs with contemporary notions of rationality. Many thanks to Ryz for the reference.
