Our recent discussion prompted me to look again into Del Ratzch's excellent
book "Science and its Limits." Here's a quote from page 158:
"Although there is dispute over what is or is not a proper background
constituent, prohibitions on Chritians taking what God has said [in
scripture] as part of the landscape on which their science is erected surely
require justification. And if God has indeed revealed to us truths
concerning the world he created, and given that Christians surely want their
science to ultimately conform to what God has said, systematically ignoring
what he has said also requires justification, to say the least."
Is this a "warfare" model? If not, why not?
