Any ROFT’ers (“Readers of First Things”) here might like to know that Ted Davis’ excellent review of Owen Gingerich’s book “God’s Universe”<\/a> appears in the current issue of First Things<\/a> (though there is always a delay before print version goes to web). Good to see an ASA leader’s voice in this important journal! I’ve not read all of Gingerich’s book, but from what I’ve read, as Davis notes in his review, Gingerich’s book is a delight. Gingerich affirms the compatibility of faith and science and supports the classical Christian notion of design, while carefully distinguishing some aspects of the “strong” ID program and avoiding polemics.<\/p>\n

There is also, BTW, an interesting discussion<\/a> going on at the FT website concerning physicist Stephen Barr’s (and others’) observations about quantum indeterminacy and free will. Barr’s Modern Physics and Ancient Faith<\/a> is likewise a delight.<\/p>\n
