Abstract

The Way of Science: Finding Truth and Meaning in a Scientific Worldview . By Dennis R. Trumble. 2013. Prometheus Books. (ISBN 9781616147563). 346 pp. Paperback. $20.00.

Recent polling data indicate that just over 50% of Americans believe in special creation, and of those polled, about 40% believe that humans lived during the same time as dinosaurs. Although most people appreciate science on a technological level (e.g., the benefits of modern …
