In his The Problem of Disenchantment, Egil Asprem offers an interesting view of discourses on science and religion. Despite the dominance of âconflictsâ in public perception, the âindependenceâ approach might be more deeply rooted in modern culture. Asprem studies âscientificâ movements that oppose disenchantment. In this paper i raise the question of why quantum physics was successful, whereas other revisions of âscienceâ were not. Of the natural theologies discussed, this paper offers some comments on âemergenceâ and on âquantum mysticismâ. Asprem presents himself as a methodological naturalist; a position that is in principle open to the study of parapsychology and other âspiritualâ claims. He considers theism to be incompatible with such a methodological naturalism, whereas I suggest that an epistemically agnostic theism is also appropriate, combining methodological naturalism and disenchantment.

âJohn Brooke, Science and Religion: Some Historical Perspectives (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991), 4â5. Discourse on âthe complexity thesisâ has been nourished by a festschrift for Brooke: Thomas Dixon, Geoffrey Cantor and Stephen Pumfrey, eds., Science and Religion: New Historical Perspectives (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010). A more popular book from such historians of science is Ronald Numbers, ed., Galileo Goes to Jail, and other Myths about Science and Religion (Cambridge, ma: Harvard University Press, 2009). A defense of the usefulness of âconflictâ, when understood as conflicts between subgroups, has been offered by Richard Olson, "A Dynamic Model for âScience and Religionâ: Interacting Subcultures," Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science 46 (2011), 65â83.

Barbour, Religion in an Age of Science (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1990), 3â30, and in his Religion and Science: Historical and Contemporary Issues (New York: Harper San Francisco, 1997), 77â105. A historically informed challenge has been offered by Geoffrey Cantor and Chris Kenny, "Barbourâs Fourfold Way: Problems with his Taxonomy of Science-Religion Relationships," Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science 36 (2001), 765â781. For my understanding of Barbourâs scheme as driven by the âconflictâ motif and concern about secularization, see Willem B.
