The Myth Makers ('Bad Faith' #18)
What's in the series? Previous: Lives, Letters and Lies Next: 'The Works of the Lord'
In the late nineteenth century, two very influential books were published: John William Draper’s ‘History of the Conflict between Religion and Science’ was published in 1874. Then in 1896, Andrew Dickson White’s ‘A history of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom’ was published. Both these books pushed the conflict myth.
These books were very popular and highly influential. They did a lot to advance the myth that science and faith are in conflict. But they’re full of poor scholarship, and ‘facts’ that are not facts at all.
