Non-Overlapping Magisteria (view source)
Revision as of 14:47, February 4, 2009
, 14:47, February 4, 2009opposed by Creationists and others
The idea of '''Non-overlapping Magisteria''' proposes to separate science from religion, with each to govern independently in their respective domains. Science gets the what and why, while religion gets meaning and value. (See also [[fact-value distinction]].)
The idea of '''Non-overlapping Magisteria''' proposes to separate science from religion, with each to govern independently in their respective domains. Science gets the what and why, while religion gets meaning and value. (See also [[fact-value distinction]].) The idea is opposed by those who see God as the Author of science (see [[Creationism]]).
It is an apologetic put forward by [[liberal]] evolutionist [[Stephen Jay Gould|Stephen Jay Gould]]. Gould described NOMA as "a blessedly simple and entirely conventional resolution to ... the supposed conflict between science and religion."
