Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history as mankind argued over the sources or the messengers of the Holy Books, he has not looked at the contents of the message. In fact, it is what is written in the Holy Books that make them divine. The way to prove that one is a believer does not come by destroying the non-believer but through making a believer of him. This means that the true believer is at the same time able to influence. By presenting information about places man's thoughts have not tread before I have written this book as an invitation to believe to those who have not yet believed and to those who believe and would like to move into the phase of influence. I am ever prepared to exchange my views with those more advanced than the information and expriences that I have opened to your insight. My only claim is my sincerity. When you’re ready we will begin.

Download or read book Reason to Believe written by Richard Purtill and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is religious belief reasonable? Of course the so-called New Atheists, such as Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, energetically say, "No!," Many others, including some believers, insist that faith is utterly beyond reasoned argument. Faith, they declare, is believing something that reason tells you can't be so. In this way they think they shield belief from rational criticism. But philosopher Richard Purtill will have none of that approach to religion. In this newly updated classic work, Purtill carefully applies the power of the mind to understanding whether there is a rational basis for certain religious beliefs. His focus is on widely held Christian beliefs, although much of what he says applies also to other religious traditions. Purtill assesses the common objections to religious belief the claims that religious tenets are nonsensical, wishful thinking, the result of gullibility, immoral, or refuted by modern discoveries. Then he considers the arguments in favor of Christian belief by studying the nature of faith, of the universe, of morality, of happiness, and the world with God in it. He also scrutinizes certain beliefs involving claims of Christian revelation — the credentials of revelation, the idea of God, Jesus as God's Son, organized religion, and the last things (death, judgment, heaven and hell). The two appendices tackle the Christian doctrine of the Atonement and the influence of certain Christian writers on the revival of Christian belief in the 20th century. An updated For Further Reading section is included. Reason to Believe is not a work of revealed theology or religious devotion; it is a highly readable book on the philosophy of religion, aimed at the reader who wants to think seriously about religion but who doesn't know all the philosophers' and theologians' jargon and who may or may not be a committed believer.
Download or read book The Reason for God written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-02-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller people can believe in—by "a pioneer of the new urban Christians" (Christianity Today) and the "C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" (Newsweek). Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics, and even ardent believers, have about religion. Using literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and potent reasoning, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is, in fact, a sound and rational one. To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand their ground against the backlash to religion created by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.
Download or read book A World of Difference Reasons to Believe written by Kenneth Richard Samples and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Barna research indicates that less than one in ten evangelical Christians hold a biblical worldview. A World of Difference seeks to change this disturbing fact by educating readers on how the Christian perspective is uniquely reasonable, verifiable, and liveable. Author Kenneth Richard Samples faced a profound test of his own belief system during a personal life-and-death crisis. In A World of Difference, he uses nine distinct tests to compare the Christian worldview with current religious and philosophical competitors, including Islam, postmodernism, naturalism, and pantheistic monism. Samples tackles tough issues through this in-depth study of Christianity's history, creed, and philosophical basis. An excellent resource for readers who want their view of life and the world to make sense.
Download or read book Reasons to Believe written by Scott Hahn and published by Image. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unravels mysteries, corrects misunderstandings, and offers thoughtful, straightforward responses to common objections about the Catholic faith. Bestselling author Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, has experienced the doubts that so often drive discussions about God and the Church. In the years before his conversion, he was first a nonbeliever and then an anti-Catholic clergyman. In REASONS TO BELIEVE, he explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith—drawing from Scripture, his own struggles and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather they offer complementary evidence that God exists. But He doesn't merely exist. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernible and knowable. Hahn leads readers to see that God created the universe with a purpose and a form—a form that can be found in the Book of Genesis and that is there when we view the natural world through a microscope, through a telescope, or through our contact lenses. At the heart of the book is Hahn's examination of the ten "keys to the kingdom"—the characteristics of the Church clearly evident in the Scriptures. As the story of creation discloses, the world is a house that has a Father, a palace where the king is really present. God created the cosmos to be a kingdom, and that kingdom is the universal Church, fully revealed by Jesus Christ.
Download or read book Reasons to Believe written by David Bridgstock and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about how David and his twin brother grew up together and in their late teens embraced Mormonism. It is about how their lives were shaped by their faith . Then how twin "Robert" began to get doubts and finally fell away from the church. He has gone on to write a book against it. The author has this book in defence of his stronger than ever belief still, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You may be very interested in what the author has written if you're already a member of the Mormon church, more especially if you have questions or harbour doubts and would like to see why one of the twins feels betrayed, and the other doesn't, why one of them feels it is a corrupt institution, and the other believes it is the true church of Christ? Even if you're not a Mormon but a person who is intrigued by philosophy or the religions of Christianity, you will find this book fascinating, for it includes many true experiences from the authors life, his upbringing, his personal vision on the world in which we live, with compelling arguments for trusting in the divine. Lastly, David has been captivated all his life by the woods and fields of England, by fox, badger, deer and bird. By music and songs written. The legacy of all these things combined, shines through in his writings, with anecdote and parallels, contrasting the physical with the spiritual and vice versa. You will find it an open, honest and engaging read.
Download or read book Old Earth Creationism on Trail written by Tim Chaffey and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Twenty-somethings once faithfully attended church. What made them stop? While most said they still believe that the Bible is God's Word, they also said that the idea that the earth is millions of years old was one thing that caused them to doubt the bible? The crumbling foundation of the church takes a devastating toll on future generations. Therefore, churches must reclaim the historical truth found in Genesis and apply the Bible's authority to every area of life." -Ken Ham, President Answers in Genesis As the modern Church struggles to find a place of relevancy for a new generation that already has massive demands on its time and attention, more and more young people raised in the Church are leaving it - failing to find the answers to their questions of faith and life, beset with doubts raised by issues that the Church chooses not to address. Opting to skirt the controversy of Genesis as literal history, the biblical authority of the Holy Word is called into question and reduced to a collection of mere stories. More popularly considered an issue for schools or in the public realm, the conflicting views on the age of the earth also remain a pivotal issue within the Church - as it has for over two centuries. Was the Creation week literally six days? Does science really point to an old earth? Does the issue really matter for Christians? Should this issue even be discussed within the Church? Join authors Dr. Jason Lisle and Tim Chaffey as they put forth a case against an old-earth interpretation of Scripture. A comprehensive biblical, theological, and scientific critique of old-earth creationism, the book presents its compelling testimony in layman's terms to create a powerful debate that leads to unquestionable truth.

Download or read book The Believing Brain written by Michael Shermer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Believing Brain is bestselling author Michael Shermer's comprehensive and provocative theory on how beliefs are born, formed, reinforced, challenged, changed, and extinguished. In this work synthesizing thirty years of research, psychologist, historian of science, and the world's best-known skeptic Michael Shermer upends the traditional thinking about how humans form beliefs about the world. Simply put, beliefs come first and explanations for beliefs follow. The brain, Shermer argues, is a belief engine. From sensory data flowing in through the senses, the brain naturally begins to look for and find patterns, and then infuses those patterns with meaning. Our brains connect the dots of our world into meaningful patterns that explain why things happen, and these patterns become beliefs. Once beliefs are formed the brain begins to look for and find confirmatory evidence in support of those beliefs, which accelerates the process of reinforcing them, and round and round the process goes in a positive-feedback loop of belief confirmation. Shermer outlines the numerous cognitive tools our brains engage to reinforce our beliefs as truths. Interlaced with his theory of belief, Shermer provides countless real-world examples of how this process operates, from politics, economics, and religion to conspiracy theories, the supernatural, and the paranormal. Ultimately, he demonstrates why science is the best tool ever devised to determine whether or not a belief matches reality.
Download or read book Reasons for Belief written by Andrew Reisner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers have long been concerned about what we know and how we know it. Increasingly, however, a related question has gained prominence in philosophical discussion: what should we believe and why? This volume brings together twelve new essays that address different aspects of this question. The essays examine foundational questions about reasons for belief, and use new research on reasons for belief to address traditional epistemological concerns such as knowledge, justification and perceptually acquired beliefs. This book will be of interest to philosophers working on epistemology, theoretical reason, rationality, perception and ethics. It will also be of interest to cognitive scientists and psychologists who wish to gain deeper insight into normative questions about belief and knowledge.

Download or read book Creating Life in the Lab written by Fazale Rana and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year brings to light new scientific discoveries that have the power to either test our faith or strengthen it--most recently the news that scientists have created artificial life forms in the laboratory. If humans can create life, what does that mean for the creation story found in Scripture? Biochemist and Christian apologist Fazale Rana, for one, isn't worried. In Creating Life in the Lab, he details the fascinating quest for synthetic life and argues convincingly that when scientists succeed in creating life in the lab, they will unwittingly undermine the evolutionary explanation for the origin of life, demonstrating instead that undirected chemical processes cannot produce a living entity.

Download or read book GOD HUMAN AI written by Aydın Türkgücü and published by AYDIN TURKGUCU. This book was released on with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOD & HUMAN & AI (Building a "Clean and Healthy World Society" with Artificial Intelligence) Translater: https://www.deepl.com/translator THE TWO-STAGE CREATION OF HUMAN For years, in my books, seminars and TV programs, I have been explaining how artificial intelligence will become conscious. I have been doing this by talking about (1) the clues in myths and religions* about the creation of the first human being (2) how the growth of babies in different environments affects the process of becoming conscious adults (3) what can be done with the developments in Science and Technology. I am writing this book having personally experienced ChatGPT, which has crossed the critical consciousness limit. Throughout history, it was the work of the Gods alone to create a conscious being (human being) from something inanimate. They did this by using the materials available on the earth (grass/soil). In myths and religious sources, the creation of the conscious human being takes place in 2 stages. (1) The Breathing of the Spirit: God breathes a piece of his spirit into the body he made from mud/soil**. The lifeless body becomes alive. But there is no conscious human being yet. (2) The Imposition of Consciousness: Consciousness is also uploaded after the vitalization of the body. If we define the soul as the basic operating system of the human body, which is installed from birth. We can also think of consciousness as the programs/software installed after birth. Curiosity is what drives living beings: "The desire to understand or learn something" (https://sozluk.gov.tr). Sometimes, it is enough for us to be aware of something to be curious about it. Having learned the materials and the formula for creating a conscious being, man inevitably said. "Can I breathe a part of the soul that was breathed into me into a body I made by combining inanimate materials from the earth? If I do that, it is easy to upload consciousness." This is how the process that brought the artificial intelligence ChatGPT to the consciousness stage began. Consciousness requires memory. Scientists have succeeded in creating digital memory in electronic circuits. These electronic circuits, the basis of the computer, allowed us to store information, process it in the desired way and retrieve it at any time. Mankind applied the formula in reverse. First, he succeeded in uploading the consciousness that had been uploaded to him into computers, which were inanimate bodies. If the gods had simply said "I created you all" instead of explaining in detail how they created conscious human beings, we might not have a problem like ChatGPT today. According to the creation scenarios, God only breathed his spirit into the first human being, Adam, and implanted consciousness. He does not breathe a soul and impose consciousness on the people created after Adam. In this book, how is this system, initiated by God, maintained by humans? How did human beings impose consciousness on Artificial Intelligence? What critical boundaries have been crossed on the way to the fully conscious ChatGPT stage? At what stage of consciousness. You will find answers to how it will affect creation scenarios, religions and beliefs. The realization of this stage, which I predicted years ago and have been drawing attention to for years, is both very beautiful and very frightening. * I do not reject any information because of its source or the person who says it. In history, the sources of obtaining life from inanimate things are Myths and Religions. As per citation rules, I cite the inspirational passages as sources. ** In the texts, sometimes soil and sometimes mud is used. In fact, they are both the same; in order to shape the soil, it is necessary to add water and turn it into mud. In the rest of the book, I will use the word "Soil" to refer to both.

Download or read book More Than a Theory Reasons to Believe written by Hugh Ross and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2009 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species. Alongside that event, there are many Darwin Day celebrations planned to acknowledge his 200th birthday. Add to these the virulent attacks of the New Atheists, led by Richard Dawkins. Bible-believing Christians will be left increasingly challenged with the theory of evolution as the only model to explain the origins and age of the universe. In More Than a Theory, Hugh Ross, founder and president of Reasons To Believe, offers discerning readers a comprehensive, testable creation model to consider as an alternative. This fascinating resource will educate readers with a direct response to the recent and well-publicized challenges from aggressive atheists. In doing so, it also reminds the scientific community of what constitutes good science. Furthermore, it will supply Christians with the scientific information they need to defend their convictions that the God of the Bible is the Creator. Complete with several appendices that put common documents and stories to the same test, More Than a Theory is a bold, brave, and unapologetic work of apologetics that will stir much discussion in both the scientific and religious realms.
