A Science Fiction History Of The Middle East
By David D. Perlmutter Jewish World Review, Sept. 10, 2003 / 13 Elul, 5763 http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0903/perlmutter_2003_09_10.php3 My favorite genre of literature is the so-called “alternative universe” science fiction tale in which a counterfactual of history is explored. What if Alexander had died at Gaugamela? What if the Kaiser’s withered arm hadn’t driven him to bombastic military […]
How Relevant Is The Institutional Church?
How relevant is the institutional church? This scenario may have some interesting parallels! Mark ************************* From “Teaching As A Subversive Activity” by Neil Postman & Charles Weingartner ( Penguin Educational Specials: 1969) pp. 48 – 50. Pursuing Relevance Picture this scene: Dr Gillupsie has grouped around him several of the young resident surgeons at Blear […]
Carl Jung’s Answer To Job – Part 1
Some of my *comments on the text ………they may be unsettling for some … Another text that may tie in with this is Soren Kierkegaard’s analysis of Abraham’s actions in preparing to sacrifice his son in “Fear and Trembling”. Mark ************************* At the time the book was written, there were already many testimonies which had […]
Scientific Proof
One netfriend wrote: [snip] It is true that Evolution is not about the origin of life. Evolutionary scientists do not emphasise that as they can’t prove it. But they do say that once life began that evolution occurred up ‘a tree of life’of one life form evolving into another without scientific proof. Chris responded: Actually, […]

Time And Belief In God
A netfriend wrote: The scientific minded might like to discuss how it is possible for an action to take place when there is no time. Chris (an atheist) responded: The scientific minded can actually do something like this. Time is stranger than one might think; and present indications are that time does not simply extend […]
Creationism Vs Evolution
One group which I refer to frequently in this topic is Answers in Genesis. They are one of the major creationist organizations worldwide, they originated in Australia; and they do show a concern for integrity about their position. So in answer to Terry’s question, let me quote the professional creationists… From “About Answers in Genesis […]
Creation And Evolution
