Privacy and the God of the Bible

"The currently popular way of coping with the science-religion debate by reagarding it as an example of two ways of 'seeing as' is, I fear, only a particular manifestation of that dichotomy between the public world of facts and the private world of values ... But if we are talking as the Bible talks about God, who is Creator and Governor of all things, who acts in specific ways, and whose purpose is the criterion for everything human, whether in the public or the private sectors, then there is an inevitable conflict."
