Jerry Coyne is criticized with good reason (Introduction)
Another review of his book, looking carefully at both sides of the issue: Coyne cannot solve an insolvable problem:-https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/science-and-theology/2015/08/03/77136504-19ca-11e5-bd7f-4611a60dd8e5_story.html?wpisrc=nl_popns&wpmm=1-"The current blood feud between religious science-deniers and New Atheist religion-bashers sells a lot of books. For many people, religious or not, the polarization brings to mind Mercutio's “a plague o' both your houses!” But Jerry A. Coyne's new book, “Faith vs. Fact,” rejects accommodationist bipartisanship. He asserts that “science and religion are incompatible, and you must choose between them.” -"He argues this for two reasons. The first is that the major attempts to support religion through science, or even merely to avoid conflict with science, just don't work. The second and stronger claim is that they can't work because the very ways in which science and faith seek to understand the world are intrinsically opposed." ?
