Disentangling Theology and Science: The Instrumentalization of Science | Leegwater, A. 2011.
PSCF 63(2):73-74. CELD ID 24899Abstract During the past four years as editor of PSCF, I have received and read a goodly number of submissions dealing with apologetic and natural theological themes and arguments. Examining and utilizing scientific findings, authors seek to bolster or support a particular view of the Bible, a certain theological doctrine of Christianity, or a coveted theory that is deemed concordant with a particular reading of Scripture. This seemingly omnipresent feature, almost a penchant of evangelical Christian reflection about science and its practices, reflects a desire to look for God in the results of science: finding God as the result of an inference to the best explanation, or if not the best explanation, the most lovely one (in the latest version of Peter Lipton).
