Magnets, Magic, and Other Anomalies: In Defense of Methodological Naturalism
Recent critiques of methodological naturalism (MN) claim that it fails by conflicting with Christian belief and being insufficiently humble.

| Zusammenfassung: | Recent critiques of methodological naturalism (MN) claim that it fails by conflicting with Christian belief and being insufficiently humble. We defend MN by tracing the real history of the debate, contending that the story as it is usually told is mythic. We show how MN works in practice, including among real scientists.

We conclude by introducing our preferred approach, Science-Engaged Theology. |
