Quite agree with this - but it raises the question of whose fault it is as a matter of the history of ideas, and I suggest that it is the fault of “science” as a professional discipline deliberately attempting (a) to remove theism from science and (b) exalt science and reason as the sole route to knowledge. Huxley and Co, the myth of scientific progress, the glorious successes of nuclear bombs and global warming… woops, effective medicines and Mars probes…
The individual scientist is inevitably tempted to buy into that through the very narrowness of the education. The scales only began to fall off my own eyes by doing a year of social psychology at university after 2 years and an A-Level course devoted to Science.
Have you not heard scientists (even apart from Gnus like Richard Dawkins) dismissing philosophy as non-evidenced woo? The guy at BioLogos who dismissed the definition of science I quoted because it came from a philosophy of science text was, perhaps, extreme - but typical in not realising why that was the best source. More commonly one gets stories like the guy giving up on philosophy and switching to science, because there was certainty in science - admittedly, analytic philosophy might have that effect even on me.
Dismissing everything from Plato to Descartes goes with the mythology within science that True Science began only when Aristotle was banished. For some reason, although some great physicists haven’t bought into that (Heisenberg springs to mind), most biologists have, it seems.
As for theology, the state of American Evangelicalism may have much to account for, in its stress on personal experience of God over doctrine. I don’t know how many times I’ve read BioLogos comments that science must control doctrine because theology is just subjective opinion - and of course, if it’s subjective, my opinion is as valid as some academic who never even lifted a test-tube in anger.
But EC’s intellectual roots in the Divine Action project don’t help, either. One of its axioms seemed to be the reductive hierarchy of knowledge: physics subsumes chemistry, which subsumes biology, which subsumes psychology… and down at the bottom, picking up crumbs, is theology. Even R J Russell, mentioned with approbation in Eddie’s article, takes that hierachy for granted, and looks for his theology of nature in the gaps of quantum theory rather than in theology or philosophy.
Finally, having mentioned Gnus, I can’t resist linking to a satire wot I wrote myself. It’s barely relevant, but New Atheists are going out of fashion, so opportunities are getting limited!
