Religion and Science

Richard Dawkins and Alvin Plantinga are on opposite sides when it comes to the relationship between science and religion.

Richard Dawkins, through works such as The Blind Watchmaker, opposes any sort of correlation and agreement between science and religion.

On the other hand, in Plantinga’s book Where the Conflict Really Lies, he finds common cause between science and religion.
