Is science complete in itself, or does it act as a pointer or signpost to matters beyond its boundaries? This discussion is often framed in terms of 'natural theology', understood as a way of interpreting nature as bearing witness to the existence and nature of God.

One of the most vigorous writers on this is C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) whose arguments against naturalism will be considered, together with alternatives which he proposes, as developed in works such as Miracles and The Chronicles of Narnia.
