Science and its Limits
In Del Ratzsch’s Science & Its Limits, we get quite a load of information regarding different approaches in regards to the relationship between Christianity, and science. There is a lot of material to cover in a report on this book. The issues that seem most relevant are an overview of Baconianism and Postmodernist ways of thinking, the strengths and weaknesses of each side in the realist/antirealist debate, as well as the explanation of the relationship between Christianity and Science. It is safe to say that I am fairly unfamiliar with these issues that are being discussed. I am examinging this material for the first time. Therefore, I realize that I have been influenced by Ratzsch’s presuppositions and beliefs on the issues he discusses. However, coming from a Christian point and having some background on what the faith generally believes on some of these issues, for the most part his ideas seem rational and understandable. After his discussions on a subject, he raises questions and voices his opinion on that particular topic. The opinions and doubts he has on the subject were pretty convincing and I found myself taking his stance on most, if not all of the subjects at hand.
