If I’m a Scientist… Can I Believe in God?
Keywords
faith and science, false dichotomy, scientific skepticism
Abstract
Our society has seemingly created a dichotomy between faith and science where there are only winners and losers and no middle ground. You either have a brain and accept science or you only have a heart and believe in God. If you accept science you must not, or cannot, also accept God. If you believe in God, so the tradition goes, you cannot accept science. If you have faith, you are suspect by scientists since you must accept God on faith. And, according to the modern myth, science is entirely devoid of faith.
