The Credibility of Science and Religion

The exploration of credibility in scientific and religious belief systems reveals that humanity possesses an inherent understanding of a higher power and moral obligations. Weingartner rigorously analyzes concepts like natural goods, moral law, and conscience, emphasizing that while all belief systems have credibility limits, different standards apply to science and religion. The text addresses consistency, refutation, and the interplay between religion and evolution, culminating in a comparison of five major world religions. It concludes by outlining the reciprocal credibility requirements between science and religion.
