The purposes of this course are to compare the reasoning and methodology found in science with those found in religion, and to consider whether and how religious considerations could rightly be used in science, and vice versa. The course begins with an analysis of scientific reasoning and methodology, drawing from contemporary philosophy of science. It then examines, for the sake of comparison, examples of religious reasoning drawn from contemporary philosophy of religion and theology.
