"Richard Dawkins menyatakan secara terbuka bahwa dirinya sangat menentang agama karena agama menghancurkan usaha-usaha ilmiah. Anggapan semacam ini bukanlah suatu hal yang baru. Sejak akhir abad ke-19 lahir suatu tesis yang menyatakan bahwa kekristenan dan ilmu pengetahuan adalah dua kubu yang saling bermusuhan. Walaupun tesis ini sudah dianggap tidak memadai, banyak orang Kristen masih memegang Darwinisme di pandangan ini. Pada kenyataannya, perkembangan Amerika Serikat juga mendapat dukungan dari ilmuwan Kristen. Dan ketika kita mempelajari teolog-teolog Old Princeton maka ki dapati bahwa mereka memiliki sikap yang berbeda terhadap ilmu pengetahuan. Di saat mereka menghadapi tekanan atas perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan(dalam hal ini evolusi), justru mereka tidak segan menerima fakta dari evolusi walaupun mereka menolak interpretasi mekanistik dan naturalistik Darwinisme atas fakta tersebut. Teolog teolog old Princeton memberikan contoh bagaimana seorang Kristen harus mengambil sikap terhadap ilmu pengetahuan. Kaum inji di Indonesia dapat belajar banyak dari sejarah dan tradisi mereka."

"The writers of this book set out to investigate whether the symbols of academia may in some cases take on a quality of sacrality, whether the rule of experts can be said to have the character of a "priesthood of knowledge", whether religion has a place in scientific contexts, and a selection of other questions concerning science and its relations to religious belief."

"Theologians and philosophers of religion have become increasingly interested in science, and especially in the area of physics. From the fine-tuning of universal constants to quantum mechanics, relativity, and cosmology, physics is a subject surprisingly widespread in its connection to the area of religion. Bridging the gap between these fields, however, has proven to be problematic; those in religion and the humanities typically interact with the mathematical sciences only at a popular level, and physicists are often dismissive of metaphysics and religion. --The Physics of Theism offers a significant and necessary middle ground between these disciplines, presenting a critical analysis of the ways in which physics is intertwined within matters of religion. Bringing clarity to often complex arguments, Koperski covers a broad range of issues that include divine action, free will, the fine-tuning argument, naturalism, the laws of nature, the relation between science and religion, and the controversy over Intelligent Design. The text is ideal for both students and scholars, providing the appropriate level of explanation of arguments to provide a starting point for research, while at the same time delivering an important contribution to current scholarship. --Book Jacket."
