SCIENCE AND FAITH IN A GAME OF STRATEGY.

In this article, Michael Polanyi engages a young audience in a confrontation of worldviews. He is resistant to a form of scientific belief that has defaulted to a naturalism that undermines the human experience of social cohesion. He proposes a return to Christian belief to provide a way toward a better future. But has he given us anything to trust in, other than switching parties with whom to affiliate? Does he actually direct us to consider the contents of "what to believe" or contend that we should believe in the Christian community for better moral outcomes? Is Polanyi's final goal a deeper investigation of "what to believe" or to create a moral outcome he believes is missing? And is morality the final goal of belief?. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
