vanced arguments against realism and generated alternative philosophies of science. Such alternative philosophies depict science in a lower register which may point science-engaged theology in fruitful directions. In this essay, I highlight the prevalence of realist assumptions in discussions of science and religion and note the historical context which perhaps animated them (1). In (2), I suggest some of the ways that realism might inflect those conversations. In (3), I outline some of the arguments against scientific realism and sketch a few alternative interpretations of science. In (4), I posit some projects for science-engaged theology when it does not assume scientific realism or scientific metaphysics, such as social critiques of science and its power structures, issues of formation, intellectual virtue, and education.
