    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    It wasn't long ago that a lot of people, especially people on college campuses, viewed religion as a musty artifact from the Bronze Age. Naturally, they thought of it as inherently unscientific. Times have changed, and a new generation has discovered how strongly science and religion are...

    THE POLITICAL AFTER 1936: George Orwell

    My poetry is political in the sense that George Orwell used the word. He used the word political in the widest possible sense. By political purpose in writing Orwell meant “the desire to push the world in a certain direction, to alter other peoples' idea of the kind of society that they should...

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    There will be no bursted bubbles at this end, Frank. After 60 years of my association and membership in the Baha'i Faith I'd say 99.9% of those who knew I was a Baha'i took no serious interest in it. The popularity(or lack of it) of the Baha'i Faith is not why I have stayed in it. Your guess...

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    After nearly two weeks since my opening post on this thread, the thread has wandered around as apologetics, and the issues it raises, tends to do. I will add a little on the Baha'i Faith since that is the religion I have espoused for more than half a century. The Baha'i religion is a relatively...

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    RGacky3 made a very good point for which I thank him. However brief his point was, it sums-up some important aspects of apologetics and, i might add, the epistomologies that people work with.-Ron

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    You could probably make several books out of your posts here, RAMOSS. The old chestnut of belief in God has certainly kept millions busy in the western intellectual tradition, to say nothing of other traditions. Here is a Christian piece: Belief in God in an Age of Science by John Polkinghorne...

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    There is some truth, StillBallin75, to what you say. But the fields of apologetics, epistomology and ontology are now vast and it is difficult to dismiss them all with one sentence, however much truth that sentence contains. You might like to have a look at several of my webpages on philosophy...

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    Part 1: Well, this apologetics thread is developing well as it examines issues as old as man in some ways but issues which, with the developments in science and technology in the last two centuries, have burgeoned and blossomed, expanded and extended. These issues can now fill libraries and a...

    Very nicely put, Frank. Go to the top of the class and present your paper, beginning with your succinct and well-thought-out opening note.-Ron

    Belief’s delight

    This post is for those who have an interest in the life and work of the poet Emily Dickinson. If you are not interested in this famous poet it might be best for you to: (i) skim or scan, (ii) stop reading now, or (iii) read to your heart's content.-Ron Price, Tasmania...

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    Thanks, William Rea and Nilly, for your responses. You make a good point William but, in 2000 years of apologetics there is, of course, much more than that. Some people enjoy the engagement in apologetics and some don't. To each their own, William. Nilly, you raise a good question about the...

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    Thanks, Frank; I'm just going to wait and see who and what follows to my opening notes. I've left readers with plenty of space to come in on this one. I often get lengthy responses at some sites since I post this at many online locations.-Ron Price, Australia

    Apologetics anyone?: Part 1

    Apologetics Anyone: Part 2: Part 4: Given the role of apologetics in religious and philosophical history and in the development of the texts and ideas that are part and parcel of that history, it is surprising that contemporary communities generally undervalue its importance and often are not...

    APOLOGETICS: AN OVERVIEW Part 1: Since there are so many questions raised and issues discussed concerning people’s basic assumptions about life, about their philosophy, about their religious beliefs, indeed, about their very approach to reality and the way their society goes about organizing...
