This is a fascinating & compelling volume exploring how religion has held back & hindered scientific progress for more than a thousand years. It has become the prevalent view among sociologists historians & some theistic scientists that religion & science have never been in serious conflict. Some even claim that Christianity was responsible for the development of science. In God & the Folly of Faith" physicist Victor J.
