The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) recently released a large-scale study on the “Religious Understandings of Science,” and it’s findings might surprise you.
The survey of 10,241 respondents investigated views on religion, science and faith and took particular interest in the responses from evangelicals and people working in the sciences. Elaine Howard Ecklund, Rice University professor and lead researcher on the study, was particularly interested to investigate how religion and science can — and do — coexist in the modern world.
Ecklund conducted a similar study several years ago in which she surveyed nearly 1,700 natural and social scientists on their views about religion, spirituality and ethics. From her findings, Ecklund noted a particularly surprising trend: There are actually quite a few spiritual scientists out there.
