Abstract

Mr. Wren-Lewis, in his search for the root of the conflict between science and religion (December issue), dismisses miracles as being unhelpful in this matter, on the grounds that scientists are concerned only with descriptions of the way things ordinarily happen. It is, however, on the question of miracles that the theologian and scientist come closest together. The theologian may believe in the possibility of miracles but he requires the services of the scientist before he can believe in miracles, since only the scientist can say whether a particular phenomenon is outside the ordinary pattern of events.
