Abstract
Many contemporary scientists have adopted the philosophical position of naturalism as their personal view of the cosmos, thereby excluding the truth of Christiantiy definitionally. However, the impression is frequently given that science itself has provided the justification for such a world view. The author argues that recognizing the presence and influence of philosophical presuppositions is basic to understanding how Christianity remains intellectually credible in the modern world and compatible with modern science. He employs the work of Thomas Kuhn as well as taking a look at the interaction between philosophical and scientific thought since the inception of the modern era.
