Murphy, "<!g>Theology in the Age of Scientific Reasoning," 68. Note that without careful attention to
Murphys modification, the notion of prediction might seem to undercut
superficially the applicability of <!g>Lakatos to theology. See for example <!g>Polkinghorne, The <!g>faith
of a physicist, 49. and Niels Henrik Gregersen, "A Contextual-Coherence
Theory for the Theology-Science Dialogue," in Retinking Theology
and Science: Six Models for the Current Dialogue, ed. Niels Henrik and J.
Wentzel <!g>van Huyssteen Gregersen (Grand Rapids: William B. Eerdmans Publishing
Company, 1998), 205-12, esp. 208-09. For a substantive critique of the claim that discernment can
yield novel facts see <!g>Drees, <!g>Religion, Science and Naturalism, 143-44.
