summaryPascual Jordan (1902-1980) participated in the birth of quantum physics. He confronts three problems that science posed to religion: an infinite universe without a creator, the mechanical view of nature, and Darwin's theory. Mechanism and Jordan's response are examined, and some ideas about realism in science are drawn out.

This concordance proved to be false and posed difficulties for scientific realism. It is sample that, however convincing it may sound, it cannot be used to ensure the truth of theories.
