Darwinism tells us where we came from, but it does not necessarily mean that our lives have no meaning; the compatibility of science and religion lies in understanding the limits and boundaries of each.
Life and Thought
Michael Ruse is a prominent philosopher of science and one of the pioneers of the philosophy of biology, best known for his research on Darwinian evolution and its relationship to ethics and religion. He holds a neo-Darwinian position, but unlike militant atheists, he emphasizes the possibility of compatibility between Darwinian evolution and theism. His numerous works have had a profound impact on modern debates concerning the origins of morality and the epistemology of biology.
