Описание: Identifying scientism as religion`s secular counterpart, this collection studies contemporary contestations of the authority of science. These controversies suggest that what we are witnessing today is not an increase in the authority of science at the cost of religion, but a dual decline in the authorities of religion and science alike.

Описание: The controversy over Intelligent Design (ID) has now continued for over two decades, with no signs of ending. A balanced and deep analysis of a controversial debate, this volume argues that beliefs about the purposiveness or non-purposiveness of nature should not be based merely on science. Rather, the philosophical and theological nature of such q

Описание: Do scientists see conflict between science and faith? Which cultural factors shape the attitudes of scientists toward religion? Can scientists help show us a way to build collaboration between scientific and religious communities, if such collaborations are even possible? To answer these questions and more, the authors of Secularity and Science: What Scientists Around the World Really Think About Religion completed the most comprehensive international study of scientists' attitudes toward religion ever undertaken, surveying more than 20,000 scientists and conducting in-depth interviews with over 600 of them. From this wealth of data, the authors extract the real story of the relationship between science and religion in the lives of scientists around the world. The book makes four key claims: there are more religious scientists than we might think; religion and science overlap in scientific work; scientists - even atheist scientists - see spirituality in science; and finally, the idea that religion and science must conflict is primarily an invention of the West. Throughout, the book couples nationally representative survey data with captivating stories of individual scientists, whose experiences highlight these important themes in the data. Secularity and Science leaves inaccurate assumptions about science and religion behind, offering a new, more nuanced understanding of how science and religion interact and how they can be integrated for the common good.
Scientific Challenges to Evolutionary Theory: How These Challenges Affect Religion addresses all aspects of the giant battle between two major belief systems...those that believe in a 'naturalistic worldview' and evolution, and those that believe in a miracle-performing God and the Creation of all things.
On a trip to Mount St. Helens, some look at the catastrophic eruption of May 18, 1981 as a significant corroboration of the Creation event. Others, deniers of the possibilities of miracles, hold to the view that God's creation cannot be taken seriously by the scientific community.
At the Mount St. Helens book store, I asked about books for sale that gave a Christian view of the catastrophic eruption. The reply was, "I'm sorry, sir, but we only carry books by scientists."
It was time for the author, Jay Schabacker, to do a little scientific sleuthing. Join Jay Schabacker as you learn of the hundreds, even thousands, of Ph.D. scientists who repudiate the theory of evolution, but hold rather to the truth of the theory of Creation.
Significant general information, likely new to most readers gives corroborative evidence from many sources, including:
- From all over the ancient world, hundreds of accounts of a global flood
- Well documented accounts of the Ark of Noah, indeed, located at the top of Mount Ararat
- Ancient 'Near East' finds, inscribed on rock, told of the actual details covered in the Holy Bible
Numerous scientific papers refute the naturalistic dogma forced on us the government, public schools, universities and media. You'll find arguments that assert:
- The earth's geological features appear to have been fashioned by rapid catastrophic processes that affected the earth on a global scale.
- Life on earth was suddenly created, not over billions of years.
- The use of radiometric dating method is often grossly in error.
- The fossil record shows that all present living kinds of animals and plants have remained fixed since creation.
- Mutations and natural selection are insufficient to have brought about any emergence of living kinds from a simple primordial organism.
- The universe has "obvious manifestations of an ordered, structural plan and design." The universe and the solar system were suddenly created.
If evolution is wrong why are our children being only taught it in our public schools? Numerous polls favored biology teachers teaching Darwin's Theory of evolution, but also the scientific evidence against it.
The final section of the book gets further into the "Action Plan" where church pastors and members, scientist groups, etc., could make an important difference if:
- We all read about the subject and started the conversation;
- We gave our views to the school boards and legislators who are the decision makers;
- We initiate needed petitions in support needed legislation; and
- We urge church pastors to create their own church schools and concerned families to start home schooling for their children.
An Unnatural History of Religions examines the origins, development, and critical issues concerning the history of religion and its relationship with science. The book explores the ideological biases, logical fallacies, and unwarranted beliefs that surround the scientific foundations (or lack thereof) in the academic discipline of the history of religions, positioning them in today's 'post-truth' culture.
Leonardo Ambasciano provides the necessary critical background to evaluate the most important theories and working concepts dedicated to the explanation of the historical developments of religion. He covers the most important topics and paradigm shifts in the field, such as phenomenology, postmodernism, and cognitive science. These are taken into consideration chronologically, each time with case studies on topics such as shamanism, gender biases, ethnocentrism, and biological evolution.
Ambasciano argues that the roots of post-truth may be deep in human biases, but that historical justifications change each time, resulting in different combinations. The surprising rise of once-fringe beliefs, such as conspiracy theories, pseudoscientific claims, and so-called scientific creationism, demonstrates the alarming influence that post-truth ideas may exert on both politics and society. Recognising them before they spread anew may be the first step towards a scientifically renewed study of religion.

Описание: The ancient kalam cosmological argument maintains that the series of past events is finite and that therefore the universe began to exist. Two recent scientific discoveries have yielded plausible prima facie physical evidence for the beginning of the universe. The expansion of the universe points to its beginning—to a Big Bang—as one retraces the universe’s expansion in time. And the second law of thermodynamics, which implies that the universe’s energy is progressively degrading, suggests that the universe began with an initial low entropy condition. The kalam cosmological argument—perhaps the most discussed philosophical argument for God’s existence in recent decades—maintains that whatever begins to exist must have a cause. And since the universe began to exist, there must be a transcendent cause of its beginning, a conclusion which is confirmatory of theism. So this medieval argument for the finitude of the past has received fresh wind in its sails from recent scientific discoveries. This collection reviews and assesses the merits of the latest scientific evidences for the universe’s beginning. It ends with the kalam argument’s conclusion that the universe has a cause—a personal cause with properties of theological significance.
