Download or read book A Convenient Truce written by Gary Loren Mccallister and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am a Christian and a scientist. This book reflects my understanding about these two important subjects. I am continually reading about the "conflict" between faith and science. The media wants to have "sides" and a "debate". I don't think that way. I am not interested in arguing with my friends and family over any particular point of view. I don't want to feud with my religious friends. I want to share the fellowship and love of Jesus Christ with them. I don't care about winning a debate with my scientific colleagues. I want to discuss ideas and cooperate in an exciting and intellectual process with them. In both cases, knowledge can make the world a better place for all.
Download or read book The Warfare between Science Religion written by Jeff Hardin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “very welcome volume” of essays questioning the presumption of irreconcilable conflict between science and religion (British Journal for the History of Science). The “conflict thesis”—the idea that an inevitable, irreconcilable conflict exists between science and religion—has long been part of the popular imagination. The Warfare between Science and Religion assembles a group of distinguished historians who explore the origin of the thesis, its reception, the responses it drew from various faith traditions, and its continued prominence in public discourse. Several essays examine the personal circumstances and theological idiosyncrasies of important intellectuals, including John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White, who through their polemical writings championed the conflict thesis relentlessly. Others consider what the thesis meant to different religious communities, including evangelicals, liberal Protestants, Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Finally, essays both historical and sociological explore the place of the conflict thesis in popular culture and intellectual discourse today. Based on original research and written in an accessible style, the essays in The Warfare between Science and Religion take an interdisciplinary approach to question the historical relationship between science and religion, and bring much-needed perspective to an often-bitter controversy.

Download or read book A Truce between God and Atheism written by Randell Stroud and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years now, the scientific community has challenged the validity of popular ancient religious traditions. The battle has only gotten more furious as technology advances whereas religion appears to remain unmoved. However, a new scientific discovery may permanently challenge the way we look at God, atheism, religion, and the natural world, suggesting that there could be a peaceful middle road between atheism and theism. A healthy level of doubt presented on both sides will ultimately result in a lasting truce in this fruitless battle of eras. Historical data, metaphysical arguments, scientific discoveries, and personal speculation, are all used in this publication to create a unique and original dialogue when discussing the origins of our existence

Download or read book The Essentials of Christian Thought written by Roger E. Olson and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Or at least, such an outlook should unite Christians of all theological and church backgrounds. However, alternate visions of reality often infect and corrupt Christians’ thinking. In The Essentials of Christian Thought, eminent theologian and church historian Roger Olson outlines the basic perspective on the world that all Christians, regardless of the place and time in which they are born, have historically held. This underlying metaphysic accords with all orthodox theologies, whether Calvinist or Arminian, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant, but it separates Christianity from other religious and secular perspectives. It is, quite simply, the essential requirement of a Christian view of the world. Bold and incisive, The Essentials of Christian Thought will prompt thoughtful readers and students to more consciously appropriate the core of their faith, guarding against ideas that subtly but necessarily invite compromise.

Download or read book For the Rock Record written by Jill S. Schneiderman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Creationism began with the fossil record and there it shall end. Before Darwin, the geological strata with their accompanying fossils formed the first geological theory of life on earth--creationism coupled to flood geology. It was Darwin who stood that theory on its head and showed that, in fact, these same fossils could be used to support his new theory of evolution by natural selection. Ever since Darwin, geology has unequivocally supported evolution and not creationism, and yet today Intelligent Design thrives in popular culture. Here at last we have a definitive collection of world-class geologists and paleontologists who systematically demonstrate precisely why geology destroys all design arguments, and reveals instead a deep and rich history of life on earth. A perfect companion to all science courses."--Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine and author of Why Darwin Matters. "An excellent contribution on a vital issue which concerns not only geologists, but all who value any science."--Mark Isaak, author of The Counter-Creationism Handbook

Download or read book The Creation Controversy written by Dorothy Nelkin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999, by the board of education in Kansas voted to delete all mention of evolution from the state’s recommended science curriculum and also from its educational assessment tests. This decision, and similar decisions in other states, suggest the persistence of creationists and their ability to capture sufficient support to influence educational policies. Although evolutionary ideas have become increasing important to many scientific fields, the creationists still have significant influence on science curriculum. How have religious fundamentalists and right wing conservatives managed to have such influence? In this science-dominated age, why is their such opposition to the teaching of evolution? This book places the Kansas decision in the broader context of the controversy between creationists and evolutionists, as a group of religious fundamentalists who defined themselves as scientists have challenged the most basic assumptions of contemporary biology. Though motivated by religious beliefs, they have tried to bypass the Constitutional requirement for the separation of church and state as they seek to influence legislature and school boards. Looking at the people involved in this social movement and tracing changes in their arguments and strategies, this book links the creation-evolution controversy to broader questions about the meaning of religion in a secular science, public trust in science, and persistent concerns about its social and moral implications.
