Reeves condemns the recruitment of scientific methods by representative theologians to lend credibility to their theological claims. His treatment of Nancey Murphy's use of Lakatosian research programme methodology is focused on here, and his proposal that science and religion scholars might act as “historians of the present” to advance the field is explored. The “credibility strategy” is set in historical context with an exploration of some of the science and religion field's original commitments and goals, particularly in terms of the emphasis on rationalism and corresponding neglect of the imagination, and the value of more creative input in promoting better dialogue between science and religion is highlighted.

科学与宗教：超越可信度策略

里夫斯谴责代表性神学家的科学方法的招募，以增强其神学主张的可信度。他对Nancey Murphy使用Lakatosian研究计划方法的处理方法集中于此，并探讨了他的建议，即科学和宗教学者可以充当“当前历史学家”来推动这一领域的发展。“可信度策略”是在历史背景下制定的，探索了一些科学和宗教领域的原始承诺和目标，特别是在强调理性主义和相应地忽略想象力的情况下，以及在推动发展过程中更多创造性投入的价值方面。强调了科学与宗教之间更好的对话。
