The Metaphor of the Maps
From Reconciling understandings of Scripture and Science
Jump to navigationJump to search
The "Metaphor of the Maps" is a way of considering the relationship between Religion and Science.
Maps portray territory in different ways, depending on the purpose of the map: thus two different maps can both be good. See this discussion of the Metaphor of the Maps on the Counterbalance Foundation website.
Another metaphor: point of view is important!
