Philip Ball's perceptive article on science and the Reformation was most refreshing. In England, particularly, the work of medieval figures such as and , not to mention that of Muslim scholars, demonstrated a real desire to come to a properly scientific, empirical understanding of the world. After all, the theistic vision of the universe as the offspring of a supremely rational creator is, to say the least, wholly consistent with the scientific enterprise.
