Science and religion: a search for synergism

In this thesis, I consider the problem of relating science and religion, and search for a
solution that will provide a useful model both for individual believers as well as
professional scientists and theologians. In this search, I take up the works of three of the
most influential thinkers to write on the subject: Andrew Dickson White, Alfred North
Whitehead, and Ian G. Barbour. I survey each of their texts and evaluate the philosophy
of science and religion that they present. In the end, I conclude that the version of
process philosophy adopted by Ian Barbour offers the most promising solution to the
problem of relating science and religion.
