" A simple, logical solution to the "problem" between science and religion. I love Gould's writing style and the way he encourages critical thinking about historical events. Definitely recommend to anyone having trouble reconciling science and religion. "
" Evocative title. Ultimately disappointing. "
" NOMA. Controversial, but I still mostly buy it, in theory. In practice... oy. "
" NOMA is the perfect compromise - leaves neither party satisfied. "
" Clear cogent argument in favor of keeping science and religion separate. Gould considers the peculiarly American phenomenon of creation science and biblical literalism in its historical and cultural context, correcting some popular myths about its history along the way. "
" This guy is a great writer. "
" Incredible text to provoke thoughts on science and religion "
" cience and religion have no reason for conflict as they address different aspects of life. Science answers the age of rocks; religion addresses thr rock of the ages. "
" I didn't finish this book. It was a little too preachy. "
" Great and different view on religion vs. science but, while I agree with most of what is said, sometimes it goes an unnecesary twisted way to try to fit the usefulness of religion in the modern world. "
" A great discussion on the intersection between faith and science by an atheist. He thinks they fit together well. Written by the famed geologist/paleontologist at Harvard. Good read so far! "
" Muy claro. Jay Gould garantizado. Muchas frases excelentes como una de Huxley: "sientate ante la naturaleza con los ojos de un niño, liberate de todo preconcepto o idea preconcebida, o no aprenderás nada" (algo así) "
