Science and the Myth of Progress

Can the knowledge provided by modern science satisfy our needto know the most profound nature of reality and of humanity? The great advantage of this book is that it puts together texts ofauthors whose lucidity about modern science goes far beyond emotionalreaction and moralist subjectivity… Here, Science and Faith arereconciled in an unexpected way: scientific objectivity is not an issue; but the real issue, where one sees no proof of progress, is whetherman is capable of using modern science properly.: Jean-Pierre Lafouge, Marquette University. Writing as an active research scientist, living in the present Cultureof Disbelief created (partly unwittingly) by the science establishment,I can think of no Research and Development project more significantto the future of humanity than putting science back into its proper place as a part of culture, but not its religion. This book is an excellent contribution to that paramount goal. Rustum Roy, Evan Pugh Professor of the Solid State, Emeritus, Pennsylvania State University.
