ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes that theology can provide some necessary corrections when science strays into fads and fallacies. Bob rightly notes that theology can provide criteria for choosing between rival scientific theories. It provides philosophical assumptions that science can test as well as input into the formation of scientific theories and analogies. Bob suggests that both theology and science can benefit from a model of critical mutual interaction. It has become clear that theology can afford to ignore neither the technological advances nor the understanding of the world and of humanity that have arisen as a result of modern science. The chapter focuses here on the trend, enabled by computer technology, to view the human person not as an embodied whole, but as a disembodied mind or as the sum of the information stored in such a mind. Computer technology allows human interaction in the bodiless world of cyberspace.
