Shades of truth & error

After I did a recent post on Christian biographies, a commenter complained that my list had nothing on science.

And it’s true that a list of Christian biographies has nothing on science, not to mention a recipe for chocolate chip cookies or a repair manual for a busted carburetor.

Be that as it may, here’s a bibliography of science, with special reference to the philosophy of science and the issue of origins.
