Meaning Truth And God

This book argues that God can be found within the edifice of the scientific understanding of physics, cosmology, biology and philosophy. It is a rewarding read that asks the Big Questions which humans have pondered since the dawn of the modern human mind, including: Why and how does the universe exist? From where do the laws of physics come? How did life and mind arise from inanimate matter on Earth? Science and religion have a common interest in the answers to such questions, yet many scientists and believers have been at odds for centuries. The author and contributors present a program for moving beyond the vastly different perspectives of reality offered by science and religion. Historical proofs for the existence of God are considered in light of the possibility that the universe may be only one in an eternal multiverse that contains an infinite number of other universes. Readers will find a modification of St. Augustine’s Argument from Truth for the existence of the necessary, self-sufficient being commonly referred to as God. This book is suited to all with an interest in the crossing points of science and religion, providing much food for thought and reflection. If in the end, you cannot accede to philosophy’s proofs, or theism’s invitation to faith, perhaps you will nevertheless say ‘yes’ to the amazing universe in which we live.

This new and refreshing approach to 2 Corinthians shows how exegesis of the New Testament writing can issue in theology that is relevant to today. Beginning with an account of the essential thrust of the text, the authors argue for the unity of the letter, setting it against both its Jewish and Hellenistic backgrounds, and examining questions of meaning and reference in the interpretation of particular passages. They then consider how the text can be illuminated by the modern study of hermeneutics, as well as by new sociological approaches. The whole study reaches its climax with an assessment of Paul's authority then and now, and the importance of what he says about God. To conclude, the authors provide their own vivid and compelling translation of Paul's words, inviting a complete rereading of the letter in the light of all that has gone before.

D. Z. Phillips (1934-2006) was one of the most influential, ingenious, and perhaps controversial thinkers in the Anglo-American philosophy of religion. In particular, he is widely regarded as a leading proponent of a Wittgensteinian approach to the philosophy of religion. While almost every book on religious language or Anglophone philosophy of religion deals with Phillips' thought or, at least, mentions his name, all too frequently his position has been grossly misunderstood and has often attracted unwarranted criticism from various sides. Seeking to offer a constructive presentation and critical discussion of Phillips' view of philosophy, religious language, religious truth, and God, Hyoseok Kim endeavors to resolve some misunderstandings, refute undue criticisms of Phillips' position, and make some suggestions concerning directions in which his view might and ought to be further developed.

Have you gone to religion for answers but ended up more confused? Have you tried to believe in God, but ended up disappointed because he didn't show up as they'd described? There are too many unanswered questions about God, and it makes religion look like a wild goose chase. Religion presents God as a magician, and when God fails to appear as presented and we demand answers, it expects us to accept that God works in mysterious ways, and besides, "How dare you question God?" "The Hidden Truth About God," say, "We are not questioning God, but what was presented to us."This book carefully analyzes and logically weighs theology and reality. It gives a step-by-step breakdown of God's plan for Creation and uses real-life experiences to provide rational answers to unanswered questions about God. And why life is full of pains and suffering when God could snap his fingers and everything becomes perfect, yet he doesn't.Thomas, a computer scientist and teacher of religion together with Grace, a professor of religion and philosophy, reveals life as a program and God as a programmer. They brilliantly decipher codes to find the bridge between the supernatural and the natural, deity and humanity, God and reality, presenting answers to some very interesting questions: What's the truth about heaven?How did sin get into heaven?Why doesn't God take away evil?What happens in the supernatural?Is religion the way to God?What about reincarnation?Why can't a perfect God have a perfect world?Is there God, or does the universe run itself?What's the big deal about Christianity?Why are there so many contradictions in the Bible?Do you value reason? Are you a skeptic, or a critical thinker? Are you a believer in the universe? Are you atheist, theist, or just searching for answers to the countless questions of the universe? This book will provide you with answers using reason and real-life experiences as it draws resources from Religious books, theology, philosophy, science, and reality.The Law of relativity states that everything is neutral when seen in isolation and only reflects in our reality when we ascribe meaning to it. Therefore, we can give meaning to God and life, or not, but Thomas and Grace's inclusion to this law is that the truth remains true irrespective of relativity. What then is the truth

In the court of law, we rely on evidence presented by plaintiffs and defendants to determine truth. Our judicial system basis itself on those treasured sacraments to determine the correct remedy to satisfy the judgment that it is presented with. And as is the case with any evidence, all too often we are finding out that it is being read incorrectly. Hundreds of inmates all around the country are being released because of incorrect decisions made by juries and judges alike. Could the same be said for the evidence presented to us for the non-existence of God? Are we being sold a bill of goods that we will later find out was in error. Are the lawyers who are standing before us, arguing at the bench of existence there evidence, in error. Is their pitch, that there is no God, a matter of pride and an attempt of making themselves gods when they put forth the notion with such a fervent certainty that a world of such awesome wonder exist all on it on. Evidence of God: A Final Resolution of Meaning delves into the meaning of evidence and the nature of proof to reveal some common misconceptions about what we believe.

'God and Cosmos' provides a four-fold moral argument for God's existence that is cumulative, abductive, and teleological.
