Militant Atheism and Biblical Literalism: Comrades-in-Arms for Promotion of Disharmony between the Science and Theology of Creation

Abstract

This article considers the extreme positions of anti-Christian protagonists of the science of creation and anti-scientific protagonists of a literal interpretation of the biblical account of creation. It points out the weaknesses of the arguments of both groups, and the use of these weaknesses by both protagonists in propaganda against each other. The underlying proposal is that moderate science and moderate theology of creation do not oppose each other.
