Plantinga on Dawkins

I love Alvin Plantinga. (Gosh, I'm so full of love lately!) A great philosopher who is also funny and eminently readable (well, as readable as contemporary philosophy gets). Here's a link to his review of one of Richard Dawkins's books.

Here's an excerpt: "[O]ne can't rationally accept both naturalism and evolution; naturalism, therefore, is in conflict with a premier doctrine of contemporary science. People like Dawkins hold that there is a conflict between science and religion because they think there is a conflict between evolution and theism; the truth of the matter, however, is that the conflict is between science and naturalism, not between science and belief in God."

Of course you have to read the whole article to see how he comes to this conclusion.

Here is a link to other Plantinga articles.
