Science Saved My Soul.

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 09:34:13 +0000

Yes, many of those thinkers to whom I owe my mental freedom were religious, like Newton, a Christian, who believed God made the Earth but who then showed me why the Earth would have formed without a god’s help. Or Plank and Schrodinger, two more Christians, who believed God ruled the Universe but showed me how God could not control a single electron. The discoveries these and many other people made, the laws they are famous for, are the very things that make gods getting humans pregnant, or angels whispering to prophets in caves, look infantile. I could never and would never question their intelligence. Their honesty and intellectual consistency are a different matter. Weird… I can stand on the shoulders of giants and see what even they seemingly could not. I’m not against the Creator(s), if they exist, if they ever existed. I’m not against the search for the Creator(s). What blows MY mind is that people think religion has anything to do with it at all.

Discovering Religion: Ep 15 – Past Supression of Science

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 09:40:30 +0000

In the fifteenth installment of “Discovering Religion” I discuss the historical suppression of science by Christian authorities. But this is really nothing new. Modern-day Christians constantly attempt to suppress scientific knowledge they see as contradicting their literal understanding of the Bible. This is perfectly exemplified by Ray Comfort’s insane version of dog evolution, highlighted at the beginning of the episode. Although Comfort is satisfied to manipulate scientific information and denigrate Darwin’s life work, Christian authorities of the past were more keen to excommunicate, torture, and put to death anyone they deemed as heretical.

Stephen Hawking on Religion: Science Will Win (6.7.10)

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:40:53 +0000

World News Anchor, Diane Sawyer, asks physicist Stephen Hawking about the biggest mystery he’d like solved. He said, “I want to know why the universe exists, why there is something rather than nothing”. He’s so smart yet, sadly, he doesn’t believe in a loving God or personal Savior (Jesus). www.abcnews.com _
