science and religion
This was a truly fantastic course, taught by engaging professors and investigations fascinating questions about the relationship between science and religion while reference a host of interesting material for further investigation.
In most of Middle-Eastern countries which i live in one of them , talking about the relationship between science and religion is a kind of a taboo.
I took this course and was looking forward to see how science and religion can co-exist, however in the fourth week there is a clear misinterpretation of science, and most of the content in this week was about "evolutionists vs creationists" rather than "Evolution vs creationism".
A very interesting course and it has given a great knowleddge to me about the concept of science and religion .
I can get basic knowledge related to science and religion, and furthermore, I could learn about the perspective related to soical science First I want to thank all of you for your hard work and expertise in preparing and presenting this class.

“Philosophy, Science and Religion: Science and Philosophy” is an extremely interesting course, well taught and easy to follow.
I was a little confused because for having a focus on "Science and Philosophy", it seemed to me to mostly talk about science and religion through a philosophical lens.

philosophy of science
It gives you a good introduction into philosophy of science and its main challenges.
We need a scientific view regarding science, the philosophy of science is more important than science itself.
Also appreciated the fact that the concepts are illustrated by means of several examples allowing to acquire an adequate perspective in terms of historical evolution of the different trends in Philosophy of Science.
Great course, excellent brief survey of a number of key issues in philosophy of science.
The course strengthens my positive opinions of Feynman's view of the philosophy of science.

relationship between
Anyone interested in better understanding the historic relationship between these two domains or self-examining their own beliefs will be very pleased with this course!
It helps me to deeply understand what is science and the relationship between science and philosophy and religion.
In this series, the designers wonderfully weaved the relationship between the three apparently diverse disciplines in a cohesive narrative, making ones understanding richer!

templeton foundation
I noticed, during the credits, that this was funded by a group called the Templeton Foundation.
However, when I saw that the John Templeton Foundation was involved in the production of the course, my expectations lowered exponentially.They rocketed to the ground, however, when I saw how several lectures were biased towards treating scientific rigor as “fundamentalism” and when their religious ideas merged in an obscene and weird mixture with post modernism and critical theories to treat the scientific inquiry and knowledge with a relativistic approach.
This course is being funded by Templeton Foundation, an organization that promotes religious apologetics.
As far as I can see this remains a problem within Christianity between young earth fundamentalists and those, such as the Templeton Foundation who financed the courses, who want Christianity to be acceptable and relevant in modern society.

so much
Thank you so much.
This course has so much potential, but students should be aware that it is largely funded by a religious studies foundation and this bias is evident in the course material.
Thank you so much for providing such an interesting and quality content for free!
Thank you so much!!!
