Science, Faith, And Ethics: Grid or Gridlock?

by R. S. White, Robert S White

Cloning, the environment, stem cell research, cutting-edge reproductive technologies, genetic engineering...Splashed across television screens and argued over the water cooler, these are among the most hotly-debated issues of our day. Ideal for thinking laypeople, Christian college science classes, and adult Sunday school classes, this timely study from two gifted scientists and committed Christians will help readers bring a deep and well-reasoned faith to the frontiers of modern technology.

While I appreciate the authors encouraging people to think scientifically, they also encourage people, mainly Christians to put on their Christian filtered glasses, which is worrying. The most important part of scientific study is to study with as little bias as possible. This felt like a scientific book with random Bible verses thrown in. Additionally, the authors seemed pretty bent out of shape about Richard Dawkins and at times, completely and unfairly misinterpreted him.

The book is good, but the title misled me. After a discussion on science and faith, the book discusses the ethics of various types of research, not ethics in general. If you are interested in reading about science and faith, then Denis Alexander’s larger book - "Rebuilding the Matrix" is much better. If you are interested in a discussion of ethics, you likely need to find another book.
