Book review: Can Scientists Believe? Some Examples of the Attitude of Scientists to Religion edited by Nevill Mott
Drozdek, A. 1992.  PSCF 44(4):264. CELD ID 13584

Abstract
The book is a collection of articles written by fifteen scientists from different parts of the world and from different religions, including one unbeliever. All these articles in a more or less explicit way attempt to substantiate one of two opposing claims: a scientist can be a believer, or a scientist cannot be a believer. Most of the answers revolve around the former position. However, the ways of answering this question range between reducing religion to an insignificant phenomenon having very little to do with science on one hand and giving religion and faith priority over science on the other.
