Christian Science

pessimistic and nihilistic at best, yet many people are convinced that every aspect of the theory is supported by empirical scientific evidence. Sadly, those same people fail to recognize that science has also provided empirical evidence which supports creationism. Herein lay the responsibility of Christians to, “remove or diminish intellectual obstacles that hinder people from embracing Christ as Lord” (Groothius, 2011, p. 28). As J. Gresham…

Albert Einstein, often found on posters in science classrooms, jokingly sticking his tongue out, once stated, “The more I study science, the more I believe in God”. Einstein was a brilliant scientist most famously known for some of his discoveries such as the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and the theory of special relativity, otherwise known as the formula E=mc2. There are many theories that he developed that discuss the scientific concepts and scientific research about the truths…

influenced contemporary technology is Joseph Henry, who developed the telegraph. Likewise, the acclaimed scientist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered electromagnetism, which broadened the range of scientific possibilities. Despite the eminence of Tesla, Henry, and Ørsted, the importance of Michael Faraday’s scientific achievements remains unsurpassed. Faraday revolutionized science and technology through his work, while inadvertently contributing to the field of medicine, environmental studies,…

So why is there a disparity between the two? Initially Natural Sciences and Religion were very intertwined with each other, while today they are thought to be polar-opposites. The emergence of Religion can be viewed as intelligent progression in human-societal evolution(cite). It is not known with certainty how the first…

This varies between religions. “Some Christians fear that accepting the theory means rejecting God as creator. But that just doesn’t follow. Christians accept scientific theories about the weather, the formation of mountains, and even the conception and development of individual human beings while still acknowledging that God is the creator and…

Between the years of 1615 and 1616 he…

regal thinking are illustrated by the fable, THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES by Hans Christian Andersen. One of the best-known physics examples of regal science is Aristotle’s geocentric solar system from the 4th century B.C. The strategy was simple enough and the original model was as simple as possible. It was, in fact simpler than today’s models. However, the narrative was barren. As the data became more precise, the necessary adjustments to the model became more complicated. Four hundred…

Justin Massey Professor Robert Bishop PHYS 301 13 April 2015 Religion & Science: The Influence of Two Faith Communities on Scientific Progress Introduction In contemporary times religion and science are often pinned against each other as if in irreconcilable contradiction. Especially within conservative Evangelicalism, this tends to be the reality as political groups advocate against scientific theories such as evolution seeing this as an attack on their religious beliefs. I recall a conference…

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind”-Einstein. I am energised by the debates that are sparked by statements like this and this is where my love of philosophy has flourished; studying reason and argument at university is a natural and exciting progression for me. Philosophy and Ethics A level has encouraged me to build up my views as an individual, specifically exploring the Christian perspective of debates and how they contrast with other beliefs. to do this, I…

And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark Satanic mills? ………………………………… I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England 's green and pleasant land.

Instead, Blake holds this…
