The real challenge for the study of science and religion does not come from physics and cosmology anymore. The rapid developments of the biological sciences, and neuroscience in particular, pose fundamental questions pertaining to the human nature, the nature of morality, or even the religious experience. The same questions lie at the heart of theology, and it only means that the future should generate new creative tensions between, and bring mutual enrichment for, science and religion.
