A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom

""A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom"" is a comprehensive book written by Andrew Dickson White. The book explores the long-standing conflict between science and theology in the Christian world from the time of Galileo to the 19th century. The author argues that the history of science has been marked by a continuous struggle between scientific inquiry and religious dogma, and that this conflict has often been detrimental to the progress of scientific knowledge. White discusses various historical events and figures, including the trial of Galileo, the rise of the scientific method, and the debates between creationists and evolutionists. He also explores the impact of religion on scientific thought and the role of the church in suppressing scientific discoveries. The book is a fascinating and thought-provoking read that sheds light on the complex relationship between science and religion throughout history.1896.
