A warning and preface
If you, dear reader, are a believing fundamental representative of a religion,
then please put this book down, because it may hurt your religious feelings,
which is in no way the intent of the author. Under no circumstances do these
comments intend to compromise your personal feelings or dishonor certain
teachings.
The author has attempted to provide a survey of the published literature and
known citations - the own opinion may stay outside of the discussion.
This book is an attempt to describe the thousand years old conflict between
religion and science according to modern understanding in a tolerant and
objective manner. This is not a declaration of war but a discussion that may
open knowledge and the posssibility to choose a model of the world to the
individual. According to Schroedinger however scientific education alone cannot
fulfill our inner desire for religious or philosophical grounding. Science alone
will make us long for more. Frequently science shatters religious believes
without substituting them for something else. Subsequently, we can see the
phenomenon that intelligent and educated people have adopted an unbelievably
childish and underdeveloped view of the world, says Schroedinger.
Hence we want to proceed systematically and discuss the fundamentalquestions of
the human Beings. In the first chapter, Where do we comefrom? What is the inner
meaning of the world? How can we gain knowledge about that? Many
religions.claim.to be in the possession of the ultimate and absolute truth. Thus
there are contradictions to other religions, but also in some cases to science,
especially in the age of globalization, and religious wars even in the third
millennium. It may be important to inform ourselves about religious believes of
other peoples and the universally valid scientific statements. In order to gain
an overview over findings of the sciences we will then discuss the questions of
matter and how the world began. In the fourth chapter the book deals with the
development of man, the brain and life in general.claimto be in the possession
of the ultimate and absolute truth. Thus there are contradictions to other
religions, but also in some cases to science, especially in the age of
globalization, and religious wars even in the third millennium. It may be
important to inform ourselves about religious believes of other peoples and the
universally valid scientific statements. In order to gain an overview over
findings of the sciences we will then discuss the questions of matter and how
the world began. In the fourth chapter the book deals with the development of
man, the brain and life in general. What do philosophers and scientists say
about the body-soul problem and the free will? Since the religions have been
giving answers to the questions of the inner meaning of the world there will
follow a report about the historic development of the relationship between
science and religion. Since in science there appears to be certain order and
regularity it seems to be ruled by laws. But where to the laws of nature come
from? Chapter 6 attempts an answer to this question.
Since the religions give us answers to the questions of human existence the next
chapter deals with how the religion influence each other. In the holy books of
many a religion the history of a people is found or these books are built upon
epics and fables. Popular believes and godliness have an influence here. A
central understanding of all religions is the conceptof a God. Does he exist,
and what does philosophy say to the different proofs of the existence of God.
All religions prescribe man a certain ethical behaviour. In the next chapter
the question if there can be ethics without religions will be tuckled.
Whether one is a believer or not, the assumed future of believe and unbelieve
is of certain interest. The next chapter discusses modern trends to his topic.
Besides science and religion superstition and pseudosciences have been claimed
attention lately. Three there of rhabdomancy, bioresonance and astrology will be
discussed in the chapter before the last, whereas the last one discusses how one
can find one's own model of the world.
