Methods in scientific and religious inquiry
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1987) Rolston, Holmes, 1932-2025, author; Random House, publisher
In generic logical form science and religion are more alike than is often supposed, especially at their cores. At the same time, science and religion typically offer alternative interpretations of experience, the scientific interpretation being based on causality, the religious interpretation based on meaning. But both disciplines are rational, and both are susceptible to improvement over the centuries; both use governing theoretical paradigms as they confront experience. The conflicts between scientific and religious interpretations arise because the boundary between causality and meaning is semipermeable.

Nature, history, and God
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1987) Rolston, Holmes, 1932-2025, author; Random House, publisher
Natural history, with its increasingly emergent complexity over evolutionary time, becomes deeply historical, with superintending levels, supercharged and suggesting Divine Spirit present in historical nature. Three types of theistic explanation are: scientific existentialist theism, process theism, and trans-scientific theism. Insight in both science and religion involves doing the truth in correspondent truthfulness, on the cutting edge of nature and history.
