"A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" is a two-
volume book published in 1896 by Andrew Dickson White. The book explores the
conflict between science and religion throughout history. It discusses various
topics such as the literal interpretation of Genesis, the opposition faced by
scientists like Copernicus and Galileo, the resistance against geological
theories, the belief in demonic possession and witchcraft, and the
condemnation of usury. The book also highlights the flawed arguments and poor
scholarship of White, who popularized the idea of an adversarial relationship
between science and religion. However, recent scholarship has shown that the
warfare thesis is neither useful nor accurate in describing the relationship
between science and religion. Historians have rejected the myths propagated by
White and other authors, such as the belief that people thought the world was
flat before Columbus.
