In this first chapter, we make the argument that addressing science and religion is, in fact, part of our collective job. We review four domains of science teaching to make our case and to assist you in explaining, justifying, and defending your choices to students, colleagues, and the community. In our view, science-religion interactions are perfectly consistent with the well-known nature of science (NOS) literature, with professional standards, with general ethical principles and responsibilities of all teachers, and with scientific inquiry. This chapter is just the beginning. Teacher background information, references, and resources are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Preface, About the Authors and Contributors, and Index.
