| Summary: | Russell's paper explores the astonishing fruitfulness of Nancey Murphy's use of Imre Lakatos's philosophy of science in the field of "theology and science." Murphy's work can be used to choose between competing theologies according to the theologians' willingness to engage with science, their ability to continue the engagement as scientific theories change, and their ability to make empirical predictions based on this engagement. Topics range from creation and cosmology, the "cosmic Christ", and non-interventionist objective divine action in quantum mechanics and evolution. Russell has followed Murphy's lead and used Lakatos to place theology and science into "creative mutual interaction" (CMI). |
