Lies Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson Told MenbspYouve probably heard the stories before Theyre everywhere Maybe you heard them from Bill Nye the Science Guy or celebrity astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson or the late Carl SaganAnd what do the stories sayThat science and religion have been at war with each other for centuries That religion is antiscienceTheres just one problem these stories are pure mythUnbelievable explodes seven of the most popular and pernicious myths about science and religion Michael Newton Keas a historian of science lays out the facts to show how far the conventional wisdom departs from reality He also shows how these myths have proliferated over the past four centuries and exert so much influence today infiltrating science textbooks and popular cultureThe seven myths Keas shows amount to little more than religion bashingespecially Christianity bashingnbspUnbelievable revealsWhy the Dark Ages never happenedWhy we didnt need Christopher Columbus to prove the earth was roundWhy Copernicus would be shocked to learn that he supposedly demoted humans from the center of the universeWhat everyone gets wrong about Galileos clash with the Church and why it matters todayWhy the vastness of the universe does not deal a blow to religious belief in human significanceHow the popular account of Giordano Bruno as a martyr for science ignores the fact that he was executed for theological reasons not scientific onesHow a new myth is being positioned to replace religiona futuristic myth that sounds scientific but isntIn debunking these myths Keas shows that the real history is much more interesting than the common narrative of religion at war with scienceThis accessible and entertaining book offers an invaluable resource to students scholars teachers homeschoolers and religious believers tired of being portrayed as antiintellectual and antiscience
