Stephen Snobelen

Author


Dr. Snobelen’s research and teaching interests include history of science (early modern and nineteenth century), science and religion, science in popular culture, the popularization of science, radical theology in the early modern period, and millenarianism. His primary research efforts are currently devoted to interpreting Isaac Newton’s theological manuscripts and understanding the relationships between Newton’s science and his religion.

Dr. Snobelen has consulted for and appeared in television documentaries on Isaac Newton, including Newton: The Dark Heretic. His most popular course is on science fiction film, which he uses to introduce historical, philosophical, and ethical themes about science and technology to undergraduates in the humanities, sciences, and engineering. He and his wife Julia have four children who help keep them grounded in the more important things of life.

    How Should Christians Respond to the False Gods of the New Atheists?

    New Atheism provides an opportunity to bring clarity, to do soul-searching before casting the first stone, and to rise to higher standards. In this way, New Atheism is not a curse, but a blessing.

  • Butterfly on flowers
    Article
    By Stephen Snobelen 

    Does Science Equal Atheism?

    The formula “science = atheism” is widely accepted by New Atheists, even though virtually all historians understand that science does not necessitate any particular metaphysical view.

    Reductionism, Scientism, and Pantheism in New Atheist Thought

    Reductionism often involves not just simplification, but oversimplification; and, it carries a powerful emotional impact, especially when it pertains to human beings.
