On this episode of ID the Future , Rob Crowther discusses controversy in the science classroom with Senior Fellow and historian of science Dr. Michael Keas, author of the recent book Unbelievable: 7 Myths about the History and Future of Science and Religion
Courtesy of Michael Keas Senior Fellow , Center for Science and CultureAfter earning a Ph.D. in the history of science from the University of Oklahoma, Mike Keas won research grants from such organizations as the National Science Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies. He experienced some of the last historic moments behind the Berlin Wall as a Fulbright scholar in East Germany. Keas serves as lecturer in the history and philosophy of science at Biola University and on the board of directors of Ratio Christi , an alliance of apologetics clubs on college campuses. He has written numerous articles, including “Systematizing the Theoretical Virtues ” in the top-tier philosophy journal Synthese . This essay analyzes twelve traits of reputable theories, and has generated dialogue across many fields. With a quarter-century of experience teaching science and its history to college students, Keas is qualified to lay out the facts to show how far the conventional wisdom about science and religion departs from reality. He has done so in the ISI book Unbelievable: 7 Myths about the History and Future of Science and Religion
