Faith vs. Fact: Why science and religion are incompatible

Using the clear-eyed, rational methodology of a world-class scientist, Coyne dismantles every claim to explaining the physical world, and the life in it, that religion proposes, from Genesis on. While science relies on observation, reason, testing, and experiment, methods that have led to tremendous progress, religion's methods are based on faith - belief in things for which there is no evidence, insufficient evidence, or even "confirmation bias", the tendency to see as true what you want to be true. Coyne irrefutably demonstrates the grave harm - to individuals and to our planet - in mistaking faith for fact in making the most important decisions about the world we live in.
