ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a sampling of what theology and science have to offer one another in a critical and mutually illuminating engagement. This will be illustrated by brief review of three questions that have important bearing on a theology of nature. It focuses on two recurring issues in the theology of nature: the mind-body relation and the relation of the human being to the rest of nature. The three questions talks about methodological naturalism, intelligent design and miracles. A maximal methodological naturalism is kind of reductionism that actually aids in the understanding of nature. Naturalistic reductionism as a methodology in science contributes to the endeavor of knowing about the natural world and is to be affirmed. The challenge of theological anthropology with which science may offer significant help is the challenge of the relation of mind and body. Science unseats the separatism and anthropocentrism that has characterized our thinking about the human being in relation to the rest of nature.
