| Zusammenfassung: | In recent years many historical myths about the relations between science and religion have been corrected but not always with sensitivity to different types and functions of myth. Correcting caricatures of Darwin's religious views and of the religious reaction to his theory have featured prominently in this myth-busting. With the appearance in 2017 of A. N. Wilson's depiction of Darwin himself as a mythmaker, it is appropriate to reconsider where the myths lie in discourse concerning Darwin and Christianity. Problems with Wilson's account are identified and his provocative demeaning of Darwin is contrasted with an image gleaned from Darwin's friend and colleague George Romanes. The article concludes with a brief reference to the problem of suffering and to the work of Christopher Southgate. |
