Science And Religion
Articles and extracts of books relating to a wide variety of topics within science and religion, including physics, the brain, belief in God, and religious experience.
http://scienceandreligion.com/

Extractions: Revelation: what use i s it? There are many people who after years of ceaseless efforts, sacrifice and suffering find no change in their state of consciousness, and in the essential aspects of their personality continue to be the same as they were before. In their despair they either blame the teacher or the whole system which they followed or even question the justice of the divine Being toward whom all their devotion, sacrifice, and effort were directed. Is it not an anomaly that while, in the intellectual sphere, out of millions who devote their lives to the various sciences and arts and make colossal sacrifices to win distinction in them, only an extremely few rise to the stature of a Shakespeare, a Kalidasa, an Omar Khayam or a Confucious? The rest reasonably attribute the rise to exceptional talent, based on some still unknown biological law. In the spiritual realm the seekers after God do not often take the same reasonable view and, instead of attributing their failure to a law of nature, assign other causes for it.

Impact Of Technology On Society
Progressive sideeffects of military, political, legal, religious, agricultural, economic and industrial processes attempting to appropriate a technology that may be far too sophisticated and powerful.
http://mt.sopris.net/mpc/

Extractions: IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON SOCIETY Jan. 6, 2004 "Speer[ Minister of Armaments, Nazi Germany] is, in a sense, more important for Germany today than Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Goebbels, or the generals. They all have, in a way, become the mere auxiliaries of the man who actually directs the giant power machine... Speer...rather symbolizes a type which is becoming increasingly important in all belligerent countries: the pure technician, the classless young man without background... It is the lack of psychological and spiritual ballast, and the ease with which he handles the terrifying technical and organizational machinery of our age which makes this type go extremely far nowadays... This is their age: the Hitlers and Himmlers we may get rid of, but the Speers, whatever happens to this particular special man, will long be with us." The Observer (UK) Apr. 9, 1944 The Nazi high command are all dead, but note that their industrial/technological works did not pass away with them. The embryonic missile base at Peenemunde used by the Germans to tap London with V2 rockets was appropriated by the Americans and the Soviets, thus providing the start-up technology and scientists to greatly extend the Air Offensive to the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile Age, which has encapsulated the entire world. "No military operation, no matter how small, can be conducted today without taking into account the awesome power of these great nuclear-tipped missiles. Their black, terrifying shadow falls across every continent on earth."
Aslan's Kin: Interfaith Fantasy And Science Fiction
Passages from authors discussing the connection between religion, fantasy, and science fiction. Includes links to sites on Christian, Humanist, Jewish, Pagan, and other religious speculative fiction.
http://www.greenbelt.com/news/aslan

Extractions: Interfaith Fantasy and Science Fiction Web sites exist that are dedicated to Christian fantasy, Humanist speculative fiction, Jewish science fiction, Pagan mythology in modern novels, and other such topics, but this site is intended to explore the spiritual fantasy and science fiction of all faiths. Many of the authors listed here were interested in spiritual belief systems other than their own, so it does them no disservice to place them in a multifaith setting. Most of this site consists of passages from authors who have written about the connection between spirituality and fantasy or the connection between spirituality and science fiction. The final page of the site consists of links to sites on these themes and on individual authors who have written spiritual fantasy and science fiction. The contents of this site are free. However, if you enjoy this site and would like to donate a dollar or two (in whatever currency you use), you may want to visit my donations page. G. K. Chesterton

Article about his wide appeal.

Extractions: Editor's note The Christian Science Monitor archive includes stories dating back to 1980. Some early articles lack sufficient formatting, and will appear as one long column without paragraph breaks. We apologize for the aesthetics and hope that the information will still be of value to you. Readers cross religious lines for C.S. Lewis BOSTON - Clive Staples Lewis, an atheist until a mystical experience at age 31, is this century's best-selling author of Christian books. What is the secret to his vast appeal? "He was an extremely talented writer," says Marjorie Mead, a Lewis scholar and associate director of the Marion E. Wade Center in Wheaton, Ill. "He helped people think through their convictions. He combined the imagination and rational side. He had the ability to reason and depict. That's a very unusual combination." Lewis had a gift for analogy. He described Christ's incarnation in "Mere Christianity," for example, by asking readers to imagine humanity as a table-top of tin soldiers whose owner wants to give them the gift of being human. The soldiers persist in remaining what they know -tin -until their creator sends a new toy soldier among them as an example of how to be fully alive.

Religious Fundamentalism
Response to a fundamentalist trying to convert me to Islam and save me from eternal damnation. Addresses questions of many religiously oriented people concerning religious truth, and science versus religion.
http://rwendell.blogspot.com/

Extractions: Response to a Muslim fundamentalist trying to convert me to Islam to save me from eternal damnation. Addresses doubts and questions many religiously oriented people have about the nature of religious truth and about science versus religion. I recently received a long epistle at my work email address from a fundamentalist Muslim trying to correct misperceptions of them as all terrorists, etc., but also trying to tell me I was eternally doomed if I did not convert to Islam. It was likely a total waste of time in terms of any effect on him, but it was valuable for me to write the response below, since it challenged and crystallized my thinking and means of expression. It also addresses pressing questions I've received from some of those who have trouble rationalizing their religious needs and understandings in this modern world. I have since edited the letter and added further appropriate thoughts as they have occurred to me. I dont like this use of the word fundamentalist, which, in my opinion, should mean those who base their views on fundamental principles, which is a good thing. However, it has now come to apply to those who take even the most superficial, and anything but fundamental, aspects of their faith as literal and absolute. Because this meaning has become the standard interpretation of the term, I will nevertheless respect this modern usage.

Pope John Paul II warned several U.S. U.S. Life What could displease the Bishop of Rome more than this: 71 percent of American voters say bishops should not publicly pressure Catholic politicians on abortion And his shielding of a man denounced by many of his former clergy and flock shows his deep moral insight and understanding of America: The former Archbishop of Boston, accused of covering up the activities of paedophile priests and forced to resign, was given a prestigious sinecure by the Pope yesterday. The appointment of Cardinal Bernard Law as Archpriest of the St Mary Major basilica, the third most illustrious place of worship in Rome, outraged his former archdiocese.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hymnody And Hymnology
Hymnody means exactly hymn song , but as the hymnsinger as well as the hymn-poet are included under (hymnodos), so we also include under hymnody the hymnal verse or religious lyric. Hymnology is the science of hymnody or the historico-philogical investigation and aesthetic estimation of hymns and hymn writers.

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... H > Hymnody and Hymnology A B C D ... Z Hymnody, taken from the Greek ( hymnodia ), means exactly "hymn song", but as the hymn-singer as well as the hymn-poet are included under ( hymnodos ), so we also include under hymnody the hymnal verse or religious lyric. Hymnology is the science of hymnody or the historico-philogical investigation and aesthetic estimation of hymns and hymn writers. I. PRELIMINARY REMARKS Hymnology is still recent in its origin. Until lately the vast material of Latin hymnody lay buried for the most part in the manuscripts of the different libraries of Europe, notwithstanding the interest taken in spreading among the people a knowledge and love of hymns, especially of Latin hymns, as early as the twelfth century; and despite the activity with which the subject has been investigated in England, France, and Germany since the middle of the last century. As the "realencyclopadie fur protestantische Theologie" asserts: "Research in regard to hymns, as I general concerning the Latin ecclesiastical poetry of the Middle Ages has made as yet but little progress in spite of the studies so actively pursued during the nineteenth century. Although it may have been thought that the compilations of Neale, Mone, Daniel, and others had provided fairly complete materials for research, we have since learnt how incomplete in quantity and quality the hitherto known material was by the publication of the "Analecta Hymnica", begun by the
