Recasting the Contemporary U.S. Conflict Between Religion and Science. “This book is dedicated to trying to dislodge the myth that there is, in the pub- lic, a foundational conflict between religion and science, specifically that there is conflict over “ways of knowing” about the natural world. I know that discredit- ing this myth will not be easy.
