关于科学与宗教之间联系的冲突叙述在多个公共讨论论坛上受到相当大的关注。这些讨论往往集中在哲学,抽象和/或论战,而不是经验的问题。2007年的一项全国性调查数据显示,只有一小部分美国成年人认为科学和宗教之间不相容。那些这样做的人平均分为科学和宗教两大类。这些群体在社会人口和宗教特征方面明显不同。总的来说,我主张对“科学与宗教”的理论视角是文化建构主义的,但在方法论上是批判主义的。
Narratives of conflict regarding the connections between science and religion receive considerable attention in multiple forums of public discourse. These discussions tend to focus on philosophical, abstract, and/or polemical, rather than empirical issues. Data from a 2007 national survey indicate that a relatively small proportion of American adults perceive incompatibility between science and religion. Those who do are divided evenly into groups privileging science and privileging religion. These groups are markedly different with regard to sociodemographic and religious characteristics. Overall, I advocate a theoretical perspective on “science and religion” that is culturally constructionist, but methodologically empiricist.
