Abstract
J. P. Moreland, in "Complementarity, Agency Theory, and God of the Gaps" (PSCF, March 1997, pp. 2-14), has problems at several points. In the first place, he claims that the complementarity view makes the theological level emerge from the sociological level, which in turn emerges from the psychological level, and on down ultimately to the level of energy, the lowest level of the physical universe. He further claims that complementarity eliminates personal identity and libertarian freedom. What he claims holds of philosophical naturalism, a view akin to materialism. Believing that all reality is open to scientific study, the adherents to naturalism require that "science" swallow up whatever remnants are allowed of theology and philosophy. But this cannot apply to the view that scientific disciplines and religious interpretations complement each other, for complements are externally related.
