The course in itself was excellent. One thing I liked about all the courses until this one (Philosophy, Philosophy of Science 1 & 2; and Philosophy, Science, and Religion 1 & 2) was that it was optional to do peer-reviewed assignments and discussion questions,etc.--I despise doing those. In this course it was required. Also whenever in any of these courses the instructors demonstrated to me that they did not understand young earth creationism and to deny that these fine Christian gentlemen and scholars are doing real science is unfair. I have read and studied their material and they are top notch scientists--it is just that their conclusions are different.

Well, I was expecting that the course creators would pull a rabbit out of a magician's hat in this last part of the course in order to show that science and Christianity are compatible but unfortunately it seems to have gone out 'not with a bang but a Wimpey' as John Cooper Clarke used to say, drifting off in to the sunset with an advertisement for an animal rights website. So, no miracles here, then.

I enjoyed learning about different religions and the different sciene therorys.

AN EXCELLENT COURSE THAT COVERS THESE ISSUES EXTREMELY WELL.

The three courses were shameful attempts to reconcile science with religion using as an example religious pseudosciences. In all courses, the theme "Intelligent Design" was approached, but in this specific there was a desperate attempt to link Buddhism to Quantum Entanglement, which are two completely opposite things. In general, the course aims to indoctrinate based on pseudoscience rather than teaching science, philosophy and religion in a critical and systematic way. Perhaps this is the main reason why the course is sponsored by the obscure and pseudoscientific John Templeton Foundation.

Thank you to the lecturer and editors of this course, I enjoyed learning more on philosophy and reasoning on certain topics that made me consider having time to think about or search about much more.

this course was quite the taking and the course work and lectures were worth the time and I'd highly recommend each and every person interested in philosophy to make some time and take this course.

This is a great course to dive deeper into this conflict and begin to unravel the entanglements that are part personal and part conceptual misalignment. Although there are some direct conflicts which I don't think should create any animosity instead we should either work harder decipher the facts or leave it as it is until a more opportune time to bring it back to the table.

I find this course very interesting and well structured. I reckon that these three courses about Philosophy, Science and Religion conform a very complete approach to the topic. I would recommend these three courses to anyone interested in our role as human-beings in the existence. I feel very grateful to the instructors of the courses and Coursera's platform.

This was very challenging. The teachers were almost all superb. It was wonderful to be forced to write essays. I enjoyed seeing how much science has changed religious thought. It would of been interesting to get a Muslim perspective and a Hindu perspective also.

Interesting combination of science, religion and the philosophy of it all. And how science and philosophy does truly go hand in hand. Highly recommended if you are a curious cat such as myself! Deadlines are flexible for us working professionals.

Excellent course bringing a whole lot of crystal clear and sober arguments in an often over-heated debate between religion and science #MUSTFOLLOW

Excellent course, the topics were very well addressed (especially Buddhism) and the videos have a very adequate duration.

It was really great and useful!!! Thank you Coursera and all professors from this course!

Great course! Very interesting and thought provoking.

Great lectures and thought provoking content.

Excellent, thank you.

Amazing Course

The "Philosophy, Science and Religion: Religion and Science" course is a fascinating exploration of the interplay between science and religion, examining how these two domains intersect, conflict, and complement each other.

The course is designed to encourage critical thinking and foster a nuanced understanding of these often contentious subjects. Comprehensive Content: The course covers a broad spectrum of topics, including the historical context of science and religion, major philosophical arguments, and contemporary debates. This comprehensive approach helps students grasp the complexities of the relationship between science and religion. Expert Instruction: The course is taught by knowledgeable instructors who provide clear explanations and insightful perspectives. Their expertise in philosophy, science, and theology enriches the learning experience. Engaging Format: The course employs a mix of video lectures, readings, making the material engaging and accessible. The use of case studies and historical examples helps illustrate key concepts effectively. Critical Thinking: The course encourages students to critically analyze different viewpoints and form their own informed opinions. This emphasis on critical thinking is one of its strong points, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Overall Experience: The "Philosophy, Science and Religion: Religion and Science" course is an excellent resource for anyone interested in exploring the complex relationship between science and religion. It provides a thoughtful and balanced approach to the subject, making it suitable for both newcomers and those with some prior knowledge. The course offers valuable insights and encourages meaningful reflection on one of the most intriguing aspects of human thought.

Of the three Philosophy courses studied from University of Edinburgh, I have found this one the most engaging, challenging and thought provoking. There was a good range of topics covered, with pointers to further reading to take ideas deeper. I appreciated the nuance brought on the different topics covered. Grateful for this learning experience which I believe will be both useful in my role as a church pastor and impactful in my life (such as a fresh challenge about research care with what we eat).

This course challanges one's fundamental beliefs in upbringing, questioning one's existence beyond origin, truth and existence. It demystifies much in querries of science, religion and the view of God, and gives a standpoint on beliefs, logic and principles, offering ethical guidance through a journey of unvelining truth. One has to be lost to be found. A wealth of knowledge: Truths that are hard to hear.

I have finished the course,as I finsihed the first.I cannot do what the teacher asks.that I write and my classmates read it.I do not speak english,It is already difficult for me to write a few lines,so a longer project is impossible.Professor,I hope for more courses that you take.It has a been a pleasure listening to you.

I had this great opportunity to take this course through Coursera, learning about philosophy, science and religion.

An easy-to-understand platform, with interactive tests that lead the student to spontaneous reasoning on the subject.

Congratulations to Coursera for the excellent way of learning.

Es interesantísimo un curso que explica muy claramente las distintas teorías entre filosofía ciencia y religión. Gracias a Coursera y a la Universidad de Edimburgo y a sus maestros doctores y docentes por compartir y enseñarnos sus conocimientos.

All the professors were wonderful and I am and was always very pleased with you, University of Edinburgh!

l like this series of courses on "Philosophy, Science and Religion" and I am planning to attend them all.
