This paper analyzes the thought on science and religion of two thinkers that
share essentially the same position: Stephen Jay Gould and Karl Popper. We first make
a comparison between those passages of their works where this similarity emerges
more explicitly. We then recall some of the critiques that have been extended to Gould
on this topic; they can be extended to Popper as well. Moreover, we highlight another
critical issue—taken from evolutionary theory—that Gould’s theorization is not able to
handle adequately from the theological standpoint. We finally place Gould’s proposal
inside Barbour’s fourfold typology for the science-religion relationship, and we conclude
by recommending further critical reflection on these interdisciplinary issues. |
