Description
 

Science: the one subject that should be untouched by human opinion and bias.


Unfortunately, the realm of science doesnt live up to this gold standard because it often gets intertwined with religion and politics. Facts are questioned in the face of political agendas and, in the presence of the unknown, mysticism swoops down. Have you ever wondered how humanity got this way? Why are we so compelled to reference a higher power and why cant we remove political bias from scientific issues like climate change?


The God of the Gaps: Understanding Science through the Lens of Religion and Politics:


  • Explores the origins of our search for spirituality
  • Tackles the question of whether well ever extricate science from the greedy hands of politics
  • Delves into how to discern reality in the post-truth era
  • Confronts the human penchant for ignoring cognitive barriers
  • Discusses the importance of diversity in all fields


Science is in the air you are breathing as you read this sentence. It is in your thoughts for the future of the planet that our children will inherit. Uncover how historical events, religion, and politics have influenced the interpretation of science, and how we can learn from, and overcome, these barriers as a society.
