Download or read book Religion Versus Science written by Ron Frost and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As commonly presented the great battle between science and religion over evolution is intractable. This book maintains that the approaches both sides take in the debate drive most of the fury in the debate. Although the facts of evolution are beyond doubt, the big mistake that many scientists make is to present these facts using a materialistic premise that is not scientifically defendable. The resulting model for evolution implies that humans arose on this planet merely by chance, that the value of our lives is based only upon the genes that we carry within us, and that our lives are essentially meaningless. Naturally religious people recoil in horror as such a bleak view of human existence. In this book Dr. Frost argues that all the World's Religions advocate for the existence of a transcendent consciousness. Scientific studies can in no way prove or disprove the existence of this consciousness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element focuses on three challenges of evolution to religion: teleology, human origins, and the evolution of religion itself. First, religious worldviews tend to presuppose a teleological understanding of the origins of living things, but scientists mostly understand evolution as non-teleological. Second, religious and scientific accounts of human origins do not align in a straightforward sense. Third, evolutionary explanations of religion, including religious beliefs and practices, may cast doubt on their justification. We show how these tensions arise and offer potential responses for religion. Individual religions can meet these challenges, if some of their metaphysical assumptions are adapted or abandoned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, science and religion have been portrayed as diametrically opposed. In this provocative new book, Steve Fuller examines the apparent clash between science and religion by focusing on the heated debates about evolution and intelligent design theory. In so doing, he claims that science vs. religion is in fact a false dichotomy. For Fuller, supposedly intellectual disputes, such as those between creationist and evolutionist accounts of life, often disguise other institutionally driven conflicts, such as the struggle between State and Church to be the source of legitimate authority in society. Nowadays many conservative anti-science groups support intelligent design theory, but Fuller argues that the theory's theological roots are much more radical, based on the idea that humans were created to fathom the divine plan, perhaps even complete it. He goes on to examine the unique political circumstances in the United States that make the emergence of intelligent design theory so controversial, yet so persistent. Finally, he considers the long-term prognosis, arguing that the future remains very much undecided as society reopens the question of what it means to be human. This book will appeal to all readers intrigued by the debates about creationism, intelligent design and evolution, especially those looking for an intellectually exciting confrontation with the politics and promise of intelligent design theory.

Download or read book Evolution and Religious Creation Myths : How Scientists Respond written by Paul F. Lurquin School of Molecular Biosciences Washington State University and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2007-06-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polls show that 45% of the American public believes that humans were created about 10,000 years ago and that evolution is non existent. Another 25% believes that changes in the natural world are directed by a supernatural being with a particular goal in mind. This thinking clashes frontally with scientific findings obtained in the past 150 years. A large portion of the general public espouses the views of creationists and their descendants, and ignores or is unaware of scientific advances. Critical thinking about the natural world within a scientific framework is lacking in the USA and many parts of the world. This manuscript provides a multidisciplinary explanation and defense for the science of evolution (not just Darwinism) as it is being challenged by arguments for "intelligent design" and other creation myths. It draws in the life, physical, and social sciences, and recent studies of human evolution that rely much on the idea of change over time, which is evolution writ large. It puts the evolution/ID issue into international perspective by including opinions held in world religions other than Christianity. It is clearly written and also can easily be used as a guide for those with some science background. The authors make a convincing case that other books do not achieve this as much as they do in this work. The book is written for a whole spectrum of educated people including teachers and teachers in training who are interested in the broad issues of the origins of the universe, life, and humans, and who may not quite grasp the potential magnitude of the negative influence on all of science education of people embracing creationist and ID thinking. This includes high school teachers and people on boards of education and in municipal governments--anyone involved in education. It could be used also in college courses such as "contemporary social issues" and "Science and Society" -- sometimes team taught by sociologists and scientists. The authors show that when they are teleological, dogmatic, or politically inspired, religious and creation myths threaten scientific efforts. The book does not require any extensive knowledge of science. The principle of change over time pervades all of science, from cosmology, to the search for the origin for life, to human physical and cultural evolution. The book educates readers on scientific matters that overwhelmingly support the idea of evolution, not only in the living world, but also in physical and social science. It explains too how evolution -- physical and biological -- is a random, unguided process whose roots can be already found in quantum physics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieu contre Darwin ! Cette opposition, volontairement simplificatrice et provocatrice, n'a en fait guère de sens. Création et Évolution ne se situent pas sur un même plan de connaissance. D'un côté, Les sciences universelles cherchent à décrire, dans un langage rigoureux, la mécanique des origines et de l'évolution de l'Univers, de la vie et de l'homme. De l'autre, philosophies et religions offrent des buts et un autre type de recherche, celui du sens de la vie de chacun. Nous montrons que les Écritures ne sont pas des livres de science, mais exclusivement religieux. La raison peut être L'alliée des deux camps. L'ouverture d'esprit aussi... Encore un livre sur le créationnisme ? Pour la première fois, ce livre propose une analyse comparative détaillée de ce que disent les trois religions du Livre (judaïsme, christianisme, islam) au sujet de la question des origines, mises en regard des traditions historiques et des connaissances scientifiques les plus actuelles. Les croyants peuvent considérer que la science décrit La mécanique choisie par le Créateur pour réaliser Sa Création ! Il ne peut donc être question de la rejeter... Grâce à un chapitre de questions-réponses, il constitue aussi un guide pour comprendre rapidement et précisément la valeur des arguments en présence. Il donne aux enseignants des réponses aux questions posées par leurs élèves. Ce livre très complet, qui prône le dialogue, permettra au lecteur de se faire une idée des enjeux scientifiques, religieux, politiques, philosophiques et historiques et de choisir sa voie, vers les lumières ou l'obscurantisme.

This book was released on 2021-09-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of religion by the humanities and social sciences has become receptive for an evolutionary perspective. Some proposals model the evolution of religion in Darwinian terms, or construct a synergy between biological and non-Darwinian processes. The results, however, have not yet become truly interdisciplinary. The biological theory of evolution in form of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) is only sparsely represented in theories published so far by scholars of religion. Therefore this book reverses the line of view and asks how their results assort with evolutionary biology: How can the subject area “religion” integrated into behavioral biology? How is theory building affected by the asymmetry between the scarce empirical knowledge of prehistoric religion, and the body of knowledge about extant and historic religions? How does hominin evolution in general relate to the evolution of religion? Are there evolutionary pre-adaptations? Subsequent versions of evolutionary biology from the original Darwinism to EES are used in interdisciplinary constructs. Can they be integrated into a comprehensive theory? The biological concept most often used is co-evolution, in form of a gene-culture co-evolution. However, the term denotes a process different from biological co-evolution. Important EES concepts do not appear in present models of religious evolution: e.g. neutral evolution, evolutionary drift, evolutionary constraints etc. How to include them into an interdisciplinary approach? Does the cognitive science of religion (CSR) harmonize with behavioral biology and the brain sciences? Religion as part of human culture is supported by a complex, multi-level behavioral system. How can it be modeled scientifically? The book addresses graduate students and researchers concerned about the scientific study of religion, and biologist interested in interdisciplinary theory building in the field.

Book excerpt: Comment expliquer le poids culturel de la religion à travers l'histoire? Pourquoi les idées surnaturelles sont-elles aussi répandues dans toutes les cultures? Que nous apprennent la biologie, la psychologie, l'anthropologie et les sciences cognitives sur les différences et les similitudes entre les groupes religieux? Et comment se fait-il que les explications religieuses des phénomènes naturels influent plus sur notre imaginaire collectif que les connaissances scientifiques? Du point de vue de l'évolution, la religion ne devrait pas exister : elle est coûteuse en sacrifices matériels et en dépenses émotionnelles ; elle impose des efforts pour adhérer à des croyances qui défient le bon sens. Alors, pourquoi la religion? Scott Aluni passe en revue toutes les explications - sociologiques, psychologiques, neurologiques, métaphysiques - et montre leurs insuffisances. Et si le sacrifice de soi qu'impose toute religion serait avant tout à stabiliser l'ordre moral dans le groupe? Ce faisant, n'incite-t-elle pas à la compétition avec d'autres groupes? Et, dès lors, n'est-elle pas toujours source de guerre? Appuyée par les recherches les plus originales et les plus actuelles, une puissante réévaluation du fait religieux au coeur même de l'humain.

This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution, Cognition, and the History of Religion: A New Synthesis comprises 41 chapters that push for a new way of conducting the study of religion, thereby, transforming the discipline into a genuine science of religion. The recent resurgence of evolutionary approaches on culture and the increasing acknowledgement in the natural and social sciences of culture’s and religion’s evolutionary importance calls for a novel epistemological and theoretical framework for studying these two areas. The chapters explore how a new scholarly synthesis, founded on the triadic space constituted by evolution, cognition, cultural and ecological environment, may develop. Different perspectives and themes relating to this overarching topic are taken up with a main focus on either evolution, cognition, and/or the history of religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution, Chance, and God looks at the relationship between religion and evolution from a philosophical perspective. This relationship is fascinating, complex and often very controversial, involving myriad issues that are difficult to keep separate from each other. Evolution, Chance, and God introduces the reader to the main themes of this debate and to the theory of evolution, while arguing for a particular viewpoint, namely that evolution and religion are compatible, and that, contrary to the views of some influential thinkers, there is no chance operating in the theory of evolution, a conclusion that has great significance for teleology. One of the main aims of this book is not simply to critique one influential contemporary view that evolution and religion are incompatible, but to explore specific ways of how we might understand their compatibility, as well as the implications of evolution for religious belief. This involves an exploration of how and why God might have created by means of evolution, and what the consequences in particular are for the status of human beings in creation, and for issues such as free will, the objectivity of morality, and the problem of evil. By probing how the theory of evolution and religion could be reconciled, Sweetman says that we can address more deeply key foundational questions concerning chance, design, suffering and morality, and God's way of acting in and through creation.
