JOURNAL ENTRY # 7
Read, Finding Darwin’s God, by Kenneth Miller and Women and the Word, by Sandra Schneiders. Miller shares the Catholic intellectual tradition that faith and reason are not at odds. What does Miller mean by the statement that “the creationists have sought God in darkness”? Would you agree that Miller’s analysis provides us with a way to reconcile two ways of knowing: scientific and religious? Schneiders illustrates that what we “know” even in a faith tradition, is influenced by culture. It makes us ponder how is the truth of faith derived? Do you find Schneiders argument persuasive? Why or why not?
