Bra att ha till hands när religiösa apologeter hävdar att vetenskap och religion är förenliga, eller att vetenskap ger stöd till religiösa (van)föreställningar.Why (Almost All) Cosmologists are Atheists
Science and religion both make claims about the fundamental workings of the universe. Although these claims are not a priori incompatible (we could imagine being brought to religious belief through scientific investigation), I will argue that in practice they diverge. If we believe that the methods of science can be used to discriminate between fundamental pictures of reality, we are led to a strictly materialist conception of the universe. While the details of modern cosmology are not a necessary part of this argument, they provide interesting clues as to how an ultimate picture may be constructed.
