The relationship between natural sciences and atheism "Richard Dawkins" as a model

Abstract

Contemporary atheism is based in its approach on the idea of ​​scientism, which claims that natural science alone is sufficient to reveal the facts of things, and that there is no truth, meaning or purpose behind what experimental science reveals,and that religion, mysticism, or metaphysics are forms of obscurantism that contradict the scientific method.

This is what Dawkins asserts constantly and forcefully, as he assumes a permanent alliance between science and atheism, by resorting to the natural sciences, especially evolutionary biology.

However, critics of the "new atheism" wave insist on its inherent contradiction, especially its insistence on the importance of 'evidence'. While atheism is presented as the only possible logical conclusion, from a series of axiomatic premises, many philosophers of science have alerted that its basis The final is in fact inferential, and therefore an uncertain matter, others have examined the same evidence and come to different conclusions.

It has become prevalent among the scientific community that the abstract scientific method cannot separate the issue of the existence of God, and that scientific atheism is compelled to make a leap from agnosticism to atheism, and that those who believe in God only reach their religious conclusions based on other reasons,so abstract science It fits a cosmological and religious view, and is capable of accommodating both theistic and atheistic viewpoints alike.
