There is an interesting new film shortly to be released by the
Faraday Institute for Science and Religion based at St Edmund's College at Cambridge. Called
Test of Faith, the film is introduced by the makers as follows:
The relationship between science and faith is often represented as a battleground. The claim is that science has pushed God into the margins. But is the truth more complex? Talking to leading scientist-believers, we probe the issues at the heart of this debate. Has science really murdered God? Or is the God question being redefined in new ways by science? Does the possibility of a Creator remain an ineradicable challenge?
With Alistair McGrath, Francis Collins and John Polkinghorne among others, it should be well worth watching. You can see a trailer at the
Test of Faith website.

Do you not have the impression that they are trying to answer the question of the relationship between the mathematico-empirical sciences and God/religion on the territory of the debated fields? (And hence dooming the whole thing to failure). It's very impressive to have many astrophysicist and so on, but in fact an astrophysicist is not *as such* qualified to talk about the relationship of astrophysics to theology. This is on the basis of the trailer alone, and it is designed to be popular, but popular need not mean methodologically dodgy.
I could be talking rubbish, someone correct me if so.
Well Alistair McGrath and John Polkinghorne are also theologians. But your point is well-made and this is sometimes a problem.
But isn't muddling the grounds what Dawkins & Co. do all the time? Therefore, isn't it legitimate to respond in kind?
How very true, SCIENCE CANNOT REPLACE FAITH but satan will do his utmost to convince us that it should!!
For those who are not theologians or astrophysicists - which is most of humanity, the trailer, never mind the film, are very impressive and convincing.
