Download or read book Astronomy Theology and Its Influence on Geology and History written by Mathew Paul and published by Verity Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book arose out of a deep religious searching around astronomical events recorded in the Bible. From this, the research led to other ancient religious sources. It was an eye opener to read that all the regions of the world had very similar astronomical narratives and knowledge. Much if not all early religion was based on what the early civilizations saw transpiring in the sky above them. The planets shaped religion in ways that are still with us today. It's incredible to think that in this day and age there are those who still adhere to ancient astronomical based religion.

Astronomy Theology will hopefully challenge the reader to appreciate other cultures and religious points of view, some of which date back to the dawn of recorded history. This book will challenge all to steer away from any form of fundamentalism, be it in religious or secular discipline.

Download or read book Intersections of Religion and Astronomy written by Chris Corbally and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the way in which cultural ideas about "the heavens" shape religious ideas and are shaped by them in return. Our approaches to cosmology have a profound effect on the way in which we each deal with religious questions and participate in the imaginative work of public and private world-building. Employing an interdisciplinary team of international scholars, each chapter shows how religion and cosmology interrelate and matter for real people. Historical and contemporary case studies are included to demonstrate the lived reality of a variety of faith traditions and their interactions with the cosmos. This breadth of scope allows readers to get a unique overview of how religion, science and our view of space have, and will continue to, impact our worldviews. Offering a comprehensive exploration of humanity and its relationship with cosmology, this book will be an important reference for scholars of Religion and Science, Religion and Culture, Interreligious Dialogue and Theology, as well as those interested in Science and Culture and Public Education.

Download or read book Story of Creation as Told by Theology and by Science written by Thomas Suter Ackland and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Creation with which the Bible commences, is not a mere incidental appendage to God's Revelation, but constitutes the foundation on which the whole of that Revelation is based. Setting forth as it does the relation in which man stands to God as his Maker, and to the world which God formed for his abode, it forms a necessary introduction to all that God has seen fit to reveal to us with reference to His dispensations of Providence and of Grace. It is, however, not uncommonly asserted that this history cannot be reconciled with a vast number of facts which modern science has revealed to us, and with theories based on observed facts, and recommended by the unquestioned ability of the men by whom they have been brought forward. At first sight there does seem to be some ground for this assertion. Geology, for instance, makes us acquainted with strata of rock of various kinds, arranged in exact order, and of an aggregate thickness of many miles, which are filled with the remains of a wonderful series of plants and animals, these remains not being promiscuously collected, but arranged in an unvarying order. It seems impossible that all these plants and animals could have lived and died, and been imbedded in the rocks in this exact succession, in six of our ordinary days. Astronomy directs our attention to changes now going on in the starry heavens which occupy ages in their development, and points to traces in the constitution of our own world which seem to indicate that it was formed by analogous means. Physiology reveals to us the fact that the different varieties of plants and animals now in existence are not separated from each other by well defined lines of demarcation, but shade into each other by almost imperceptible gradations; and geological researches show that while the existing species of animals are the representatives of those which lived and died at a period in which we can find no traces of man, they are not identical with them, but that either the old species must have died out, and been replaced by a fresh creation, or a considerable change must have taken place in the course of ages. These facts are held to be incompatible with the account of creation given by Moses, and hence it is inferred that a record, which appears to be so widely at variance with admitted facts, cannot be entitled to the authority which is claimed for it, as a fundamental portion of a Revelation made by the Creator Himself. This difficulty is sometimes met by the assertion that the Bible was not given to us to teach us Science, but to convey to us certain information which was essential to our moral welfare, and which we could not obtain by any other means; that these discrepancies do not in any way interfere with that portion of those truths which is involved in the History of Creation, but that, however the narrative may be viewed as far as regards its details, the facts that God is the Creator of all things visible and invisible, that He is a Being of infinite Wisdom, Power, and Love, and that He has placed man in a peculiar relation to Himself, remain unaffected. On this ground it is often urged that we may pass over scientific inaccuracies as matters of no great importance.
Download or read book Astronomy in the Origins of Religion written by Cometan and published by Astronist Institution. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Official title: Do the prehistoric interactions between astronomy and religion form a distinct religious tradition? In the dissertation for his Master's of Arts degree from the University of Central Lancashire, Cometan introduced and thoroughly explored his theory of the existence of the oldest religious tradition based on astronomical observation which he titles the Astronic tradition, or Astronicism. In this work, which received a Distinction Grade of 87 following its examination, Cometan discovers that astronomy and religion were indeed intertwined in prehistoric and ancient times. Through archaeological evidence, Cometan makes the case for the existence of an Astronic religious tradition stretching back to the Upper Palaeolithic period of the Stone Age some 40,000 years ago. Key ideas of Cometan's dissertation work include astromorphism, astrolatry, astroglyphs, astromancy, astronomical religion, and the theory of an astronomical Urreligion (an original or primordial religion).
Download or read book Astronomy for the Layman written by Carl Zimmerling and published by Everpower Company. This book was released on 1995 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title offers a critical comparison between scientific facts versus ancient religious teachings, superstition and writings, written at a time when science was practically unknown. It is also based on many years of observing the often devastating results of religious mis-teachings during many years of overseas travel to 50 countries. A strong influence of recent astronomical discoveries also contributed to my acceptance of humanism/atheism and turning away from any religion, including Christianity. A book of particular interest to those readers still "sitting on the fence" between scientific reality and religious fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In God and the Astronomers, Dr. Robert Jastrow, world-renowned astrophysicist, describes the astronomical discoveries of recent years and the theological implications of the new insights afforded by science into mankind's place in the cosmos. He explains the chain of events that forced astronomers, despite their initial reluctance ("Irritating," said Einstein; "Repugnant," said the great British astronomer Eddington; "I would like to reject it," said MIT physicist Philip Morrison) to accept the validity of the Big Bang and the fact that the universe began in a moment of creation.
