Scientists Are Not, “Playing by the Rules”, When Exploring Intelligent Design
October 21, 2009 | admin
Guest: Greg Koukl explores whether science is undermined by a bias against Christian spirituality: “…When people say Intelligent Design is not scientific what’s going on is a trumping of the facts with Materialistic philosophy… They aren’t even allowed to play because they don’t play according to the philosophical rules… and in this case, what you have is a serious problem of aggressive bias that has entered into the process and does not allow the scientist to pursue the evidence where it leads.”

Resist the Non-Living Universe Assumption
October 21, 2009 | admin
Guest: Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris, biologist, ecologist, futurist and author, examines why scientists should be skeptical of their assumption that the universe is non-living: “… the fundamental belief in Western science is that this is a non-living universe. No one has ever proved this. I don’t think anyone could prove it. It is an assumption. If I say I want to build a science based on the assumption this is a living universe scientists will say – prove it. But, they don’t have to prove their fundamental assumption that this is a non-living universe. Western science has developed the only culture in history, I think, that has developed the concept of non-life.”

50 Reasons People Give for Believing in a God is a positive book that encourages people to think freely and challenge the common justifications for belief in gods. There is no name-calling, no condescending attitude and no hate. I am positive and so is this book.
Although the book is thorough and clear about the weaknesses of reasons for belief, it’s gentle enough that one should be able to give a copy to a friend or family member without fear of offending. All I want is a world where people respect science and all minds are free. Don’t you want that, too?
