Title: Unbelievable Pdf 7 Myths About the History and Future of Science and Religion
The seven myths, Keas shows, amount to little more than religion bashing—especially Christianity bashing.
Unbelievable reveals:
· Why the “Dark Ages” never happened
· Why we didn’t need Christopher Columbus to prove the earth was round
· Why Copernicus would be shocked to learn that he supposedly demoted humans from the center of the universe
· What everyone gets wrong about Galileo’s clash with the Church, and why it matters today
· Why the vastness of the universe does not deal a blow to religious belief in human significance
· How the popular account of Giordano Bruno as a “martyr for science” ignores the fact that he was executed for theological reasons, not scientific ones
· How a new myth is being positioned to replace religion—a futuristic myth that sounds scientific but isn’t
In debunking these myths, Keas shows that the real history is much more interesting than the common narrative of religion at war with science.
This accessible and entertaining book offers an invaluable resource to students, scholars, teachers, homeschoolers, and religious believers tired of being portrayed as anti-intellectual and anti-science.
So much more than just history -- Astute, Factual, and Well Reasoned If you like history, science, tech, philosophy, theology, or culture, READ IT! People NEED to read this to avoid the dominant cultural myth that is moving millions toward falsehood and error.The past is the key to the present. Okay, I know that I'm using that out of context, but really, isn't an understanding of the past NECESSARY to forming accurate assessments for navigating the future?If major TV programs endorse MAJOR FACTUAL ERRORS significantly deluding the public, who's going to set them right?We need more of Key's astute, factual, and well-reasoned thinking. Not only is well-grounded history presented, but the origins and spread of the myths are precisely traced. Keas' reading well over a hundred historic textbooks on the subject is evident in his clarity and conclusions. But the book is not sloughed down in details. The author does not claim an omniscient perspective like some textbooks, but clearly states his research and its limits. Unlike the myth-makers he critiques, the author shares many of his findings openly regardless of whether they support his view or not. (I don't think Kepler, cited in the book, would want it any other way.) It should be noted that the author's conclusion and content does come up against those purporting the War hypothesis and so-called Copernican principle. But his conclusion moves on from there in a way that really shook me in its relevance.In the same way that overly excitable YouTubers might be screaming that god is about to be created in AI or else descend in the form of ET--so this book is a much needed dose of reality for the seeming majority of TV broadcasters and the American public.From medieval times and the Renaissance to contemporary times and projections about the future, Keas takes his readers further in and further up while reining in the extravagant and hurtful claims of the myth-makers past and present.Eye Opening This well research book confronts the myth that religion (and most specifically the Christian faith) has been and remains in conflict with science. In fact, scientists like Kepler and others viewed their study of the universe as part of their worship of the creator. Kepler's work was a hymn to God, as Keas documents. More importantly, Keas traces the myth that mankind has been reduced from "created in the image of God" to "just another speck on just another speck in the vast universe" and challenges that myth. This book is well researched, and will challenge you with vast historical sources, specifically how the study of the universe as been presented in science text books throughout history.I particularly enjoyed the chapters on the study of life on other planets (ET for short) and the assumptions that will be made if and when they ever arrive on earth. Scientists will accept their far advanced technology as magic, with almost a godlike worship of the same.Read the book, it will make you think.The natural sciences offer no evidence for unnatural entities Obviously this book is attempting to advance religion by making false claims about what scientists do and their discoveries using the scientific method. Scientists are not at war with religions. Promoters of religions are constantly attempting to discredit evidence of the natural world. You won't see religion promoters in the USA being critical of faith healers, flat Earthers, or those claiming the Universe being only a few thousand years old. One thing you will see are Xians forming alliances with radical Islamists to promote creationism aka intelligent design.
