Scientific Theism - Francis Ellingwood Abbot - Bog

Scientific Theism is a philosophical and theological treatise written by Francis Ellingwood Abbot. The book explores the relationship between science and religion, arguing that the two are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary. Abbot argues that science provides a framework for understanding the natural world, while religion offers a framework for understanding the spiritual realm. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of science and religion, tracing their development from ancient times to the present day. Abbot argues that both science and religion have evolved over time, and that they have often been in conflict due to misunderstandings and misinterpretations. The second part of the book focuses on the concept of God, exploring the nature of divinity and the role of God in the universe. Abbot argues that God is not a supernatural being but rather a natural force that governs the laws of the universe. He also explores the concept of free will and the problem of evil, arguing that these are not incompatible with a belief in God. The final part of the book explores the implications of scientific theism for ethics and morality. Abbot argues that a belief in God provides a foundation for ethical behavior, and that science can help us understand the consequences of our actions. He also explores the concept of immortality and the afterlife, arguing that these are not supernatural concepts but rather natural phenomena that can be understood through science. Overall, Scientific Theism is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between science and religion. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of God and the universe, and provides a framework for understanding the role of religion in modern society.1886. Contents Part I.
