Morals Not Knowledge

By John H. Evans.

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.
