Abstract
Moving towards the end of the book this chapter reviews and summarizes the overlapping areas of ethical dilemmas and arguments for theological and philosophical paradigms. The summary will also identify those areas in which differences remain between the two domains or methodologies. The differences will be assessed by reference to what diversity can be lived with and those areas in which bridging of the gaps is needed. By way of conclusion proposals are made for bridging those gaps by means of conversation, language, common bodies of knowledge and working together to build common ground.

Equivalent research published by Forbes from Dr Amy Unsworth of the Faraday Institute, St Edmunds Cambridge found only 3–6% of UK Christians had a full belief in creationism not the 22% of reported by the Horizon research interrogated.
