I wonder if any scientists pray for guidance. I would expect lots do.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122828543615175957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-48965269275115036112012-03-23T11:54:51.690-07:002012-03-23T11:54:51.690-07:00There are many scientific research activities whic...There are many scientific research activities which I think <i>can</i> and <i>will</i> fit into theism, but have the feature that the scientists involved in these topics do <i>not</i> see themselves as within theism. At leasta in their papers they would never mention theism, even if they believed it privately. It is similar to biologists being only skeptical of Darwinism in private, not in print. <br /><br />The Thomists within Catholicism seem to be trying to work within theism, but I am not sure they are entirely successful. More explicit references to theism exist within counseling and psychotherapy. It is there within Alcoholics Anonymous. I see much within marriage counseling, especially when linked to Christianity.<br /><br />Part of the problem is that, though many people are working in their 'small area', they do not have an overall framework in which to place their work. That is why I have written my recent book.Ian Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225626428359340605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-79652313600068519652012-03-23T10:15:49.573-07:002012-03-23T10:15:49.573-07:00What are some examples of science being done with ...<i>What are some examples of science being done with theism in mind?</i><br /><br />Might this be one example: "...develop[ing] a theistic science to see what must be in the ‘science of consciousness’"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-63228728334505247082012-03-23T06:36:24.169-07:002012-03-23T06:36:24.169-07:00What are some examples of science being done with ...What are some examples of science being done with theism in mind?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122828543615175957noreply@blogger.com
