the 3 readings are attached, Each answer should be about 100-200 words:
1) What is the difference between the “Two Books” model and the “Two Languages” model? Clearly explain your answer using specific examples from the readings.
2) The Creative Mutual Interaction (CMI) model is likened to a bridge, permitting two-way traffic between science and theology, such that each can potentially benefit from the other. Extending this metaphor, which end of the bridge (science or theology) receives more traffic, in your opinion? In other words, does science potentially benefit more from religion or does religion potentially benefit more from science? Or, are they about equal. Explain your response with specific examples from the reading or otherwise.
3) Based on these first readings, which topic or idea that was new to you are you most interested in learning more about? In other words, what new topics or ideas resonated the most with you or otherwise made you think? Explain your answer with specific examples from the readings or otherwise. (Note: This could be a spark for your advanced integration paper)
4) Ideas or models about the relationship between science and theology generally fall into categories of “conflict”, “harmony”, or “complexity”. Although your opinion may change over the next few weeks, which of these three categories best reflects your current beliefs about this relationship? Explain your answer with specific examples from the readings or otherwise.
5) What is the difference between the “Scientism” model and the “Scientific Imperialism” model? To which model do you think Richard Dawkins is most closely aligned? Or do you think neither model adequately represents his views? Explain your answers with specific examples from the readings or otherwise.
