Evolution debate crosses science and faith in letters
A reader argues that ethics psychology and natural theology are sciences alongside physical science and rebuts the claim that science and theology are incompatible. The letter cites Kolvin Mendelinm and Mendel and notes many scientists who held religious belief. The writer defends natural theology Paley and various theologians and asserts physical science studies physical laws only, while God remains metaphysical. The author dismisses overconfident theory as superstition and warns against conflating theory with certainty.
