A new book from the National Academy for the Sciences explains to laypeople why science and religion do not conflict, and evolution does not disprove the existence of God.
The book is aimed at defusing the tension between religion and science, and in that regard, I consider it welcome. So long there has been hostility of scientists toward religion (and, granted, the reverse as well) that it has only inflamed passions. That scientists are making an effort to counter that is exciting news.
