Book Synopsis A User's Guide to Our Present World by : Herb Gruning
Download or read book A User's Guide to Our Present World written by Herb Gruning and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader is about to embark on a journey of discovery and perhaps even reckoning. Religion and science have been understood as inherently at odds and inimical toward each other. However, both employ metaphor: religion when it calls the spirit descending upon Jesus a dove, science when it describes electrons as a current flowing through a wire, for only fluids flow and electrons are not a fluid. Both use myths: some religions in the sense that there was a Golden Age of humans in a garden, science when it promises unlimited progress. Both enlist hypothetical entities: some religions when a storm heralds that the gods are angry, science with the existence of a vacuum and a frictionless surface. And each bears its fundamentalist contingent: just observe a debate between creationists and evolutionists and the zeal and fervor with which the Bible and Darwin must be defended at any cost, no matter what. Given all this, it becomes readily apparent that religion and science display more in common than was once expected. And that is precisely what is in peril in the following pages—our expectations. May the intrepid traveler benefit from the voyage.

Book Synopsis A User's Guide--The Sequel by : Herb Gruning
Download or read book A User's Guide--The Sequel written by Herb Gruning and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There is science and there is religion and never the twain shall meet.” Is that to be the fate of these two disciplines? Having one foot in the religious world and the other in the scientific can be as precarious as attempting to remain astride two logs in a river. In this sequel to A User’s Guide to Our Present World: What Everyone Should Know about Religion and Science, complexions of what religion and science look like today are investigated. It discuses topics from Jesus and family values, evangelists who arrive at your door, discrimination and racism, and the dark side for religion, to delicate balances impacting us and the world, climate change, the pandemic, and how ancient structures like Stonehenge and the pyramids could have been built for science. The study then turns to theological implications of scientific theories, including relativity and quantum. Sure to ruffle the feathers of some from both sides, the examination focuses on how scientific paradigms fail to cohere with traditional theological doctrines and presents the potentially uncomfortable view that scientific revolutions might warrant a corresponding revolution for theology itself.

Book Synopsis Science and Religion in Education by : Berry Billingsley
Download or read book Science and Religion in Education written by Berry Billingsley and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the latest research in education in relation to science and religion. Leading international scholars and practitioners provide vital insights into the underlying debates and present a range of practical approaches for teaching. Key themes include the origin of the universe, the theory of evolution, the nature of the human person, the nature of science and Artificial Intelligence. These are explored in a range of international contexts. The book provides a valuable resource for teachers, students and researchers in the fields of education, science, religious education and the growing specialist field of science and religion. Science and Religion in Education is a compelling read for current and future generations of academic researchers and teachers who wish to explore the fascinating intersect between science education and religious studies. The research findings and insights presented by these international scholars offer new dimensions on contemporary practice. - Vaille Dawson, Professor of Science Education, University of Western Australia Science and Religion in Education offers a fascinating and diverse collection of chapters surveying the current state of thinking about how science and religion can be understood in education. The book offers a wealth of thought-provoking material for anyone interested in the natures of science and religion, their relationship(s), or their representation within the curriculum. - Professor Keith Taber, University of Cambridge Science education and religious education are uncomfortable bedfellows. This book, written in part as a response to the – perhaps too clear – accounts of Ian Barbour, provides suitably nuanced pictures of how science and religion are dealt with in schools. Whatever the views of specialists, young people ‘receive’ an education in both science and religion: hearing their voices is refreshing in such a serious academic account. - Julian Stern, Professor of Education and Religion, York St John University Humans have long endeavored to make sense of the world often using science and religion. Yet, these two great traditions are frequently seen as incompatible. This useful volume features thoughtful contributions from experts whose work straddles the divide and provides educators with arguments, engaging strategies and historical perspectives to help build a bridge and allow a fruitful discussion in schools. - William F. McComas, Distinguished Professor of Science Education, University of Arkansas Equal parts critical examination of existing models for the relationship between science and religion, scholarly exposition of newer models, and insights toward practical application in classrooms, this book is an invaluable resource for science and religion educators. If you have been thinking it is time we looked beyond Barbour’s taxonomy, you will want to read this book. If you have not, I implore you to read this book. - Jason Wiles, Associate Professor of Biology and Science Education, Syracuse University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty of the world's leading scientists explain how their science enhances their faith and their faith undergirds their science.

Each of them gives their own account of how their science and faith intersect and interact in their personal life and thought. The contributors include: - Francis Collins, Human Genome Scientist - R.S (Bob) White, Professor of Geophysics, University of Cambridge - Alister McGrath, Professor of Science and Religion, Oxford True Scientists, True Faith combines selected essays from two preceding volumes, Real Science, Real Faith and Real Scientists, Real Faith, with new contributions from another five eminent scientists.
Book Synopsis When Religious Faith Collides with Science by : Jan M. Long
Download or read book When Religious Faith Collides with Science written by Jan M. Long and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2014 Gallup Poll indicated that 26 percent of Americans believe that humans came into existence less than 10,000 years ago, with a much larger 37 percent believing the world was created in six 24-hour days. Those percentages represent around 83 million and 118 million people respectively, suggesting these to be ideas that resonate with a large swath of the population. Given the prevalence of such thinking the question looms, "Is it possible that so many people could be wrong, or is science simply mistaken about some of these matters?" This book is very much about the importance process plays in the conclusions that are reachable, with Jan Long proposing that process itself can answer such questions, doing so in a way that offers credibility. He proposes that process entails a set of well-established rules for how knowledge is acquired, and these can help guide the formation of a sacred construct about beginnings. In the final analysis it is a process that seeks to replace dogmatic thinking with humble and tentative expressions about that which is knowable about the many mysteries of reality that convey to sentient beings, awe and wonder.

Book Synopsis Teaching about Scientific Origins by : Leslie Sandra Jones
Download or read book Teaching about Scientific Origins written by Leslie Sandra Jones and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persistent resistance to the teaching of evolution has so drastically impacted science curricula that many students finish school without a basic understanding of a theory that is a fundamental component of scientific literacy. This «evolution/creationism controversy» has crippled biological education in the United States and has begun to spread to other parts of the world. This book takes an educational point of view that respects both the teaching of evolution and religious beliefs. Authors from different academic traditions contribute to a collection of perspectives that begin to dismantle the notion that religion and science are necessarily incompatible.
