Drawing inspiration from such seminal works as \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy of Nature\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eScience and Wisdom, \u003c\/i\u003e the essays in this volume span a wide range of issues of perennial interest to theologians, philosophers, and scientists: from the philosophy of science to the limits of scientific enquiry; from the laws of nature to natural law; from animal intelligence to intelligent design. Taken together, they constitute an engaging argument for the intelligibility of the natural world and the human intellect's ability to discern transcendent realities through its reading of the cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors are Michael Augros, John J.
