This was a great book, very well written.PatrickHighly recommend for believers and non believers alike. Hits both sides equally and does not take sides.

Dancing science and religion---the wisdom and folly of many peopleC. Our interface with Reality---let's give Reality a great big hugExplore the interface between humans and Reality by answering three questions. Included are many quotations from people on the same journey, and a few funny fillers to give your brain a rest. Your answers and mine are at the end.D. Freedom and Joy---The Buddha and Lao Tzu, Harold and MaudeA. Amoral science & brainless religion1. Science and Religion2. Understanding and significance3. Albert Einstein1. SCIENCE AND RELIGIONThe quality of the ideas and beliefs held by an individual or organization can best be judged by their willingness to be exposed to alternative ideas and beliefs, competently and forcefully presented. So argued John Stuart Mill in his short book, On Liberty.Openness to alternative points of view is necessary because:a. Your point of view may be wrong. To believe otherwise is to assume you are infallible.b. Your opinion almost certainly does not contain the whole truth, and alternative points of view may have valid elements. If you have the honesty and self-confidence to recognize them, understanding increases, and the presentation of your point of view more powerful.c. Even if the other point of view is completely wrong it is important to listen carefully and present your position vigorously and honestly. Otherwise your point of view will lose its vitality and freshness and become dead dogma, mere rhetoric.In the spirit of On Liberty, this paper considers the strengths and weaknesses of the two great interpreters of reality in our culture, science and religion.An honest dialogue has often been made toxic by too many people among such groups as atheists and fundamentalist Christians who cherry pick history, straw man the other side, and indulge in sad, mean-spirited ad-hominem attacks. For instance, atheists I have known greatly enjoy trivializing and making fun of religion. Along with the hopelessly brainless literal interpretations of the bible, the horrors perpetrated by religion in the name of love are pictured in detail and living color.The politics of the far right is seen as an attempt to return to the good old days, when rack and stake will once again put the fear of Almighty God in the hearts of Satan and his minions, and anyone else who doesn't grovel low enough. And the examination of religion is usually left there, with a fervent commitment to the fight for rationality and freedom wherever ignorance and superstition are found. Such fine words indeed stir the soul.Religious fundamentalists I have known point out that science has no morality. And, the tools of destruction created by Godless scientists have caused more suffering and death than all of the religious wars put together. The picture of all those scientists spreading terror and pain, and threatening all life on this beautiful planet is not pretty. And imagine the terrified last moments of all those millions upon millions of innocent, little babies dying in horrible agony, sliced apart by doctors trained in the scientific tradition. More than ample justification for an even greater commitment to the Holy Crusade to spread God's Love and Mercy to all mankind.The ideologues on both sides trivialize and demonize, and easily knock down the abominable straw men they create. What fun stomping the stuffing into the mud. There is some truth in how each views the other but the selectivity and exaggerations are a little less than honest. Hopefully the following will be a bit more even-handed.

Welcome Home of the Tigers. Einstein insisted. Science and religion are branches of the same tree. Fundamentalists have insisted they're incompatible. Let's take a look. In the spirit of John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, this book considers the strengths and weaknesses of the two great interpreters of reality in our culture, science and religion. An honest dialogue is often made toxic by atheists and fundamentalist Christians cherry picking history, straw manning the other side, and indulging in sad, mean-spirited ad-hominem attacks.

Using a lively narrative, The Sociology of Religion is an insightful text that investigates the facts of religion in all its great diversity, including its practices and beliefs, and then analyzes actual examples of religious developments using relevant conceptual frameworks.

For all the discussion in the media about creationism and 'Intelligent Design', virtually nothing has been said about the evidence in question - the evidence for evolution by natural selection. Yet, as this succinct and important book shows, that evidence is vast, varied, and magnificent, and drawn from many disparate fields of science. The very latest research is uncovering a stream of evidence revealing evolution in action - from the actual observation of a species splitting into two, to new fossil discoveries, to the deciphering of the evidence stored in our genome. Why Evolution is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, palaeontology, geology, molecular biology, anatomy, and development to demonstrate the 'indelible stamp' of the processes first proposed by Darwin. It is a crisp, lucid, and accessible statement that will leave no one with an open mind in any doubt about the truth of evolution.

Some of the Praise for No Sense of Obligation . . . fascinating analysis of religious belief -- Steve Allen, author, composer, entertainer [A] tour de force of science and religion, reason and faith, denoting in clear and unmistakable language and rhetoric what science really reveals about the cosmos, the world, and ourselves. Michael Shermer, Publisher, Skeptic Magazine; Author, How We Believe: The Search for God in an Age of Science About the Book Rejecting belief without evidence, a scientist searches the scientific, theological, and philosophical literature for a sign from God--and finds him to be an allegory. This remarkable book, written in the laypersons language, leaves no room for unproven ideas and instead seeks hard evidence for the existence of God. The author, a sympathetic critic and observer of religion, finds instead a physical universe that exists reasonlessly. He attributes good and evil to biology, not to God. In place of theism, the author gives us the knowledge that the universe is intelligible and that we are grownups, responsible for ourselves. He finds salvation in the here and now, and no ultimate purpose in life, except as we define it.
