Bear of a Battle

Summary by Tom Magnuson

An issue of World magazine has an article about Baylor University, explaining how the controversy there centers on the fact/value or the faith/reason divide seen in earlier articles in "In the News".

The controversy may be summarized in this quote: 'Many argue that science and faith must be separated, that science accounts for objective reality, while religion has to do with internal meaning. Mr. Sloan's predecessor, Herbert Reynolds, sought to bolster Baylor's academic standing by championing the "two spheres" approach, arguing that faith is a matter of inward piety: The "two spheres" of knowledge and faith must be kept completely distinct.'

There are positive references to William Dembski and ID, and also to the new book by Nancy Pearcey, entitled Total Truth.
