60 Questions on Science and Faith

“60 preguntas sobre ciencia y fe” is the title of the book written by 26 professors and researchers of Spain and Latin America, from 13 different universities, that intends to refute the so called incompatibility between Science and Religion that some reduccionist scientists defend. It will be for sale from September 30th, edited by Stella Maris publishers.

Quantum physics, statistics, cosmology, biology, neuroscience, among others, are the subjects that the various specialists developed to defend an “at least as legitimate as the atheist” position.
