A BRIEF HISTORY OF RELIGION "vs." SCIENCE:   For nearly two centuries, "Science" has been the stick with which to beat Christians and other believers in God over the head.  Science, however, emerged at the end of 1000 years of a Biblically-soaked western European culture, and in no other time or place.  That was no accident.  Science is the Way of the Cross for the intellect.  We give up our right to be right and let the truth and the Lord of truth speak for themselves.   Read more...

The Science Library is logically tied to the   Epistemology Library because science (from the Latin 'scio' = 'I know', is about how to find out the truth about a given area (physics, chemistry, history, logic, mathematics, theology, etc.).  Science (as understood and practiced in Western culture) is an intellectual and moral discipline for finding the truth. 

Definition of 'science'...

 Personality, Empiricism, & God -- E. Fox D. Phil thesis on relation between Science & Theology

Miscellaneous --

** Personality, Empiricism, & God -- on the metaphysical (Biblical) foundations of empirical science. 

** Definition of 'Science'  --  the underlying issue of the Intelligent Design debate -- & without which there can be no resolution. 

** What is Philosophy?    E. Fox

** A letter to the editor of First Things on God and science.  s

** Open Letter - Earle Fox to David Satcher, MD, Ph. D.  on his "Call to Action on Sexual Health: Science & Belief -- Seeking Common Ground"  --  Conference in DC, May 24, 2004

**Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey - a review by Earle Fox   -

** OpEd to the Washington Post - "Religion vs. Science"  -- E. Fox

** The Sword of the Spirit -- What is it?   E. Fox   ---   A MUST READ for every Christian....

Kurt Goedel was a brilliant mathematician who is alleged to prove that mathematics is incomplete, that, for example, it cannot be proved that 2 + 2 = 4.  Mathematicians have generally accepted that conclusion -- which cuts the bottom right out from under the certainty of most of what we call science.  But science goes on anyhow because it appears to work so well.  Go here to read Goedel's mathematical version of the Ontological Argument for God.  Be ready for some heavy stuff.  You will be led to further links for completing parts of the article. 
        This has serious implications for science as a whole and its relation to theology, etc.  For more on science and theology, visit Personality, Empiricism, & God (PEG) as it takes shape on the Road to Emmaus.   PEG will be dealing with this uncertainty in coming chapters. 

World in Process --  Book review on Process Theology -- commentary by E. Fox 

"Hardwired to Connect - the New Scientific Case for Authoritative communities..."  A MUST READ. Possibly relevant also to the Intelligent Design movement.  Now available from Emmaus Ministries.  Get your copy for $7 postpaid. 

US Infectious Disease Policy Based on the Wrong Germ Theory --  Carolyn Dean, MD, and Elissa Meininger  --   on the potential for disaster if we concentrate on remedial rather than preventative measures.  

Science, Crowbars, & Bats -- Chuck Colson --  on science vs. scientism.

The Dawkins Confusion --  In Christianity Today, Alvin Plantinga takes on Richard Dawkins -- two well-known and very capable philosopher/scientists types who disagree completely on the "God" question.    
       This is an super assessment of Dawkins' passion against God, and of some issues involved in the Intelligent Design vs. Evolution debate. 
        I am in the midst of revising my doctoral thesis at Oxford granted 43 years ago, on the relation between science & theology, in which I show (I think) that science, as a logical fact, could not have arisen in any but a Biblical culture.  Personality, Empiricism, & God is relevant to all the contention between Evolution and Intelligent Design, and will, I think, help clarify many of the metaphysical issues.       E. Fox   

Pathological Science -- Yes, we have invented pathological science (global warming) -- any science where truth-seeking is not the first order of business.  Which, of course, is then no science at all.              

More Pathological Science (or History) -- on the history of the early scientists and the myths which still surround them fabricating a false opposition between science and Christianity. 

Education

Science, Scopes, & Evolution....   What is "science"?  and is evolution fact or theory? 

Bruce Shortt on Math Education Disaster -- 

Global Warming --

** The Lessons of Kyoto - & the Real Global Crisis --  our "Global Crisis" is spiritual, not warming, not even political or military.  Commentary by E. Fox. 

Global Cooling - Next Ice Age On Its Way  --   impressive report.... 

Global Warming -- Stopped in 1998 --  by Prof Bob Carter, geologist at James Cook University, Queensland, engaged in paleoclimate research.  Kyoto Treaty expensive politicized flop. 

Gore in the Balance -- Global Warming -- hypocrisy in science & politics...   by Helle Dale

Two articles on Global Warming --  No, not by Al G. 

Fraudulent Science - lecture by Michael Crichton - "Aliens Cause Global Warming...."

Pathological Science -- Yes, we have invented pathological science, not limited to "global warming" -- any science where truth-seeking is not the first order of business -- which, of course, is then no science at all. 

Global Warming (again...)  --  2 good articles on the honest science of the matter. 

The Epicycles of Global Warming --  James Lewis in American Thinker.  "When True Believers begin to harbor doubts, they don't immediately give up the faith. It's too scary; too much pride and money has been invested; too many jobs and reputations are on the line; and they need to find a new reason to live. So they always try to add on new wrinkles and qualifications to their crumbling story. Today that's happening with the global warming cult."

Former Dire Predictions -- global cooling, end of oil, gas, gold, food, etc., etc. 

Polar bears NOT endangered -- more junk science elucidated for your entertainment.  

31,000 Scientists reject Global Warming --  "Mr. Gore's movie has claims no informed expert endorses."  It looks like the GW "event" is turning out to be the Global Scam of the Millennium. 

The Question of Global Warming - by Freeman Dyson.   Wow!  quite a new approach, with some totally new (to me at least) science.  Well worth the read....   E. Fox 

Czech President Klaus ready to debate Gore on climate change --  

Carbon Chastity -- by Charles Krauthammer --  More on the absurdity of the Global Warming speculations.
