Date: Wed, 27 Apr 1994 08:02:26 GMT [This post is being made to the listed sci.* newsgroups above because the book described here *directly* talks about the conflict between science and theology in these subject areas: archaeology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, medicine, physics, psychology (the insane/demon possession), and of course history. The skeptics will find this book quite useful as well. :^) Followups have been set to 'poster'. If you must publicly post a followup, please do so to rec.arts.books.

It is formatted using the highly-regarded Windows 3.1 Help engine. It can be viewed using Windows 3.1, OS/2 2.x, Windows NT, some of the newer Microsoft applications for the Macintosh, and possibly other operating systems that have software capable of reading Windows 3.1 Help files. This extraordinary and powerful scholarly work is considered to be White's most famous, and is MUST reading for anybody interested in the continual conflict between science and theology.
