  1. Alister E. McGrath _ Surprised By Meaning: Science,

    I turned away from one belief system that tried to deny it was anything of the sort, and accepted another which was quite open and honest about its status. My conversion was an act of free-thinking. I believed that I had found the best way of making sense of things. And that remains my view today. Although I now appreciate that Christianity has emotional, imaginative, and ethical dimensions that I had yet to discover at that time, I continue to see the "sense-making" dimensions of faith to be profoundly important and significant.

  2. Alister E. McGrath _ Surprised By Meaning: Science,

    Curiously, Dawkins and Dennett remain firmly committed to the outmoded notion that science and religion are permanently in conflict-an idea often referred to as the "warfare" thesis. This is now regarded as quite unacceptable by historians of science, chiefly because it is so difficult to reconcile with the facts of history.8
