The Myth of an Anti-Science Church: Galileo, Darwin, Teilhard, Hawking, Dawkins

In this outstanding work, Gerard Verschuuren responds to the popular myth that the Catholic Church is "anti-science." Clearly distinguishing between research and ideology, he probes the scientific discoveries and the non-scientific convictions of Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Stephen Hawking, and Richard Dawkins.
