“The ‘Darwin in the fish’ seen so frequently on automobiles signifies the false and, therefore, misleading dichotomy that arises from our Western notions; and most of the errors in demarcating what is science from what is religion stem from Darwin–in–the–fish thinking. Orthodox Christians should no more be influenced by this kind of Western thinking than by Western notions of Christianity. The principal error of this Western notion is that science and religion are of necessity ineluctable antagonists, locked in unending and hopeless mortal combat, much like Sisyphus pushing his rock. Accompanying this misperception is the attitude that a scientist cannot and must not have any religious beliefs at all—and especially not Christian beliefs—, for fear that religious beliefs might compromise the scientist’s scientific objectivity.”
