Has science buried God?

This book is an expanded version of a series of lectures given during a course titled "Faith, Reason, and Science," organized by the Department of Education at the University of Oxford in December 2000. It evaluates the evidence provided by modern science regarding the debate between the atheist and theist interpretations of the universe.

The key question is not the relationship between science and religion, but between science, naturalism, and theism. When we ask if science has buried God, what we are actually asking is whether science gives more support to naturalism than to theism.
