In my abstract I present some ideas I have been working on for sometime.
Readers of "First Things" will immediately recognize the influence of the
recent Fish/Neuhaus exchange. That exchange came at a critical time for me
as the two scholars nicely laid out the very issue I was dealing with. What
you will see however is that I have switched the debate from a
theism/materialism dichotomy to a science/relativism dichotomy. As I am
still preparing my final paper I would appreciate any criticism from those
who have the time and interest to read the following two posts.
Because of the size, the discussion organizer (Norm Lederman of Oregon)
distributed the abstracts in two e-mail messages. These are not final form
abstracts. They are being circulated for discussion purposes.
