A thorough and hard-hitting critique that is a must read for anyone interested in the interaction between religion and science. It has become the prevalent view among sociologists, historians, and some theistic scientists that religion and science have never been in serious conflict. Some even claim that Christianity was responsible for the development of science. In a sweeping historical survey that begins with ancient Greek science and proceeds through the Renaissance and Enlightenment to contemporary advances in physics and cosmology, Stenger makes a convincing case that not only is this conclusion false, but Christianity actually held back the progress of science for one thousand years. It is significant, he notes, that the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century occurred only after the revolts against established ecclesiastic authorities in the Renaissance and Reformation opened up new avenues of thought. The author goes on to detail how religion and science are fundamentally incompatible in several areas: the origin of the universe and its physical parameters, the origin of complexity, holism versus reductionism, the nature of mind and consciousness, and the source of morality. In the end, Stenger is most troubled by the negative influence that organized religion often exerts on politics and society. He points out antiscientific attitudes embedded in popular religion that are being used to suppress scientific results on issues of global importance, such as overpopulation and environmental degradation. When religion fosters disrespect for science, it threatens the generations of humanity that will follow ours.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"GOD communicates with man in divers ways. He speaks to him through his conscience; and through the inspired pages of Holy Writ; and, with yet greater clearness and emphasis, through the living voice of the Catholic Church, which He founded on "the Rock" of Peter well-nigh 2,000 years ago. God speaks to man also by the lips of Science and Philosophy, and through the visible creation, which lies stretched out before him like an open book that "Book of Nature," which is ever proclaiming in its own impressive way" the wondrous works of His hands". By whatever channel He speak, the voice is always one and the same, for it is always the voice of the living God. From this it is evident that there can never be the slightest real discord between the lessons taught. Geology cannot be in contradiction with Scripture. Science cannot oppose Revelation, nor is it conceivable that the conclusions of Philosophy can ever be out of harmony with the Definitions of Divine Faith. There may be, and there often are apparent conflicts, but they can never be anything more than "apparent". Indeed such conflicts are natural and inevitable, and will continue while man remains what he is. Man's imperfect knowledge, his false interpretations, his unwarranted conclusions, his erroneous deductions, his ill-founded theories, his mistaken judgments, and even the very limitations of his mental vision must often occasion apparent contradiction; and may even start interminable discussions and conflicts between the teaching of the Infallible Church and the utterances of human science. But these differences are never real. The preceding remarks will explain the title of the present little work. We call it FAITH AND FOLLY because our chief purpose in publishing it is to strike a blow, however feeble, however unworthy, and how ever ill-directed, in defense of the Faith, and of the supernatural structure erected by Faith, against attacks of modern infidelity and the assaults of the worldly-wise." (The Author).

Excerpt from Faith and Folly God communicates with man in divers ways. He speaks to him through his conscience; and through the inspired pages of Holy Writ; and, with yet greater clearness and emphasis, through the living voice of the Catholic Church, which He founded on "the Rock" of Peter well-nigh 2,000 years ago. God speaks to man also by the lips of Science and Philosophy, and through the visible creation, which lies stretched out before him like an open book - that "Book of Nature," which is ever proclaiming in its own impressive way "the wondrous works of His hands." By whatever channel He speak, the voice is always one and the same, for it is always the voice of the living God. From this it is evident that there can never be the slightest real discord between the lessons taught. Geology cannot be in contradiction with Scripture.
