A thesis presented to the Department of Religious Studies and the Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree of Bachelor of Science, Spring 2014.This work attempts to understand the relationship between the scientific enterprise and the religion of Christianity in light of Ian G. Barbour's notable work on the topic in his 1997 book Religion and Science: Historical and Contemporary Issues. Specifically, this work attempts to provide a current and fresh perspective on Barbour's four possible approaches to the relationship between science and Christianity: ( 1) Conflict, (2) Independence, (3) Dialogue, and (4) Integration. While Barbour believes the answer to reconciling science and Christianity lies in the Integration category, we will show in the course of this work that science and Christianity are actually caught in conflict, and they may not be integrated into a single worldview as Barbour contends.en-USAll Rights Reserved.ScienceChristianityPhilosophyTheologyIan BarbourReligionScience and Christianity in the Modern Age: An Exposition and Critique of Ian G.
