Does science challenge religious beliefs? This book surveys different ways that science has been interpreted by religions around the world. Different viewpoints are used to illuminate how science can be seen from a religious perspective.

Why do we die? Why will your life eventually come to an end, even without fatal injury or illness? As far as any of us stop to ponder this question, two alternative answers are common. Either we, and all living things, die because something has gone wrong since human life first came into being, or we die because all living things die in evolutionary and generational succession. The first of these answers is a widespread Christian one based on an understanding of the Fall. The second is the picture given by science. The Dawn of Death charts a course between these two answers as to why we die....

This is your chance to be judge and juror of a controversial subject. I'm sure that most of us will have gazed up at the night sky and wondered how the moon, planets and stars actually got there, knowing that according to science, some of them are so far away that their light may have taken millions, if not billions, of years to reach us. Similarly, I'm sure that most of us have at sometime asked ourselves that most basic of questions as to why we are actually here. Are we the result of a freak accident of nature and that as individuals, we are no more than a complex combination of atoms and...

Rudolf Steiner is one of the well known authors of the late pre-modern occult world. A student of theosophy who became the head of anthroposophy, his works were profuse, but among all of these, "Occult Significance of Blood" stands out as perhaps the best. Speaking of interbreeding and the spiritual result, the race question (then in vogue in philosophical circles) and the biological concept of blood in general, Steiner's work is highly indicative of its date of origin and symbolizes the confusion of the 1910s.

The pattern of Creation indicates that God created matter and energy to inevitably form the intricate outcomes of Creation-not a haphazard, randomly inevitable mechanistic outcome, but one that God was totally guiding to his intended directional outcomes. Thus, the inevitableness of the energy/matter realm of God was planned-and it responds to God's guidance. This outcome is by God's design, not a random mechanistic chance outcome. Without his design and guidance, it's all just idle, inert stuff.

It is a general belief that when a person seeks a tarot card reading it's because they are in need of help or support of a spiritual kind.

Inside you will find stories straight from Madam Luyena a well rounded and acclaimed spiritualist as that is her anonymous name, you will find detailed...

Is evolution an enemy to faith? Can God, Scripture, and science be reconciled? What evidence is there for evolution? Is it true? In this tour de force of scientific rigor and biblical insight, biologist Aaron Yilmaz examines the Creation vs. Evolution controversy from a scientific and biblical perspective, undergirded with psychological and philosophical understanding. With over 600 citations from peer-reviewed scientific journals, books, and university literature, he objectively and exhaustively investigates the evidence for not only an ancient earth but for the reality of evolution. With...

"This book is an attempt to logically and reasonably critique some of the manifestations of Darwinian evolution. The author has relied on sources that are both in favor of and those that have serious doubts about that position. From the length of the book, it is obvious that this is not a comprehensive study of all the weaknesses of Darwinian evolution but merely an introduction for those who seek to understand some of the facts that are not easily accessible. The author does not attempt to adjudicate on the 'young-earth' versus 'old-earth' discussion that is prevalent in some circles but...

"The Bible is not based in science." "The worldwide flood is impossible." "There was more than one ice age." "The solar system proves evolution to be true."

Ever heard these statements before? They are just a few of the arguments against Creation and origin by an all-knowing Creator. In this follow up from his first book, A Critical Evaluation of Origin of Species, Bruce Fitzgerald shares a deeper insight into how the Bible and scientific evidence work hand-in-hand.

Starting with an explanation of the correct way to read Genesis, Fitzgerald walks through basic,...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work is to present the many evidences demonstrating that the Bible must be the Word of God, that more might come to saving faith in Christ. THE UNAWARE: Drawing from personal experience, the author is convinced that more would believe, if only they were made aware of the many evidences solidly supporting the Christian faith. 100 Reasons to Believe is written specifically for these unaware individuals, and, indeed, for all sincere seekers of truth who long for evidence to back up their faith. But in this increasingly noisy and distracted world, some will fall...

In this book Klaus Fiedler offers a candid critique of religious faith healing claims - a critique that extents to the Voluntary Male Medical Circumcision Campaign (VMMCC). The book reveals the lack of substantive evidence to back such healing claims and the contradiction between the VMMCC claims and the consequences of those claims in sexual health and practice.

In the last Twentieth century Science and Technology have advanced several orders of magnitude. This has provided humanity with information on, and an understanding of, the natural world that was undreamed of even 50 years ago. At the same time religions have not adapted spiritual elements and still rely on concepts generated 2,000, or more, years ago. It is inevitable that this gap will close. However, it will not be prompted by theology but by the new findings of science. In science's new model of the universe in which energy replaces matter as the basic ingredient, it is becoming apparent...

Mark Twain was one of the greatest American authors in history and is often regarded as "the father of American literature." Twain's writing was distinguished due to his use of colloquial speech as well as his humor. Few students can graduate high school without reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This is a collection of essays on Christian Science that was published in 1907.
