  • A Purpose for Everything by L. Charles Birch
    A Purpose For <I>Everything</I> return to religion-online 31 A Purpose For Everything by L. Charles Birch Charles Birch is a biologist specializing in genetics, and resides in Australia. He is joint winner of the 1990 International Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion.. His teaching career includes Oxford, Columbia and the Universities of Chicago and Minnesota, as well as visiting professor of genetics at the University of California at Berkeley and professor of biology at the University of Sydney. Professor Birch has blazed new paths into the relationships between science and faith. Published by Twenty-third Publications, Mystic, Connecticut, 1990. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted and Winnie Brock. (ENTIRE BOOK) Birch holds that post-modern scientific materialism is insufficient to explain the world. He proposes an ecological model in which all entities, from protons to humans, are ultimately related. Only this, he says, can deal adequately with the post modern world. Introduction The reformation of modernism into postmodernism involves a radical transformation of science, religion and culture that constitutes a revolution even greater than the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment. Chapter 1: Purpose in Human Life Future possibilities are real causes in our lives. If, as a society, we are to make a creative response to the overwhelming challenges of war, injustice and environmental destruction of our time, there need be agreement about purposes that are stronger than the differences that divide us. Chapter 2: Purpose in Nature The profound question evolution raises is why did atoms evolve to cells and to plants and to animals? Materialism (which itself is a metaphysic) provides no real answer to this question.

How have we embraced President the critical role of contrarian perspectives? S Part of my father’s vision was that science can be a friend to spir- ituality rather than an adversary. Another part was that we know far less than we think, but not as much as we might. A third key princi- ple is that humility in the face of uncertainty, tied to mental rigor in the pursuit of new information, is the proper path to greater spiritual and empirical understanding of the universe.

They have both provided valuable assistance throughout this project. The major burden of supervising my work, however, has fallen to Bruce Kaye and I am indebted to him for his patience, encouragement and wisdom.

Introduction The problems of global management are all connected. You can no longer do only one thing. Resource shortages, unemployment, inflation, environmental deterioration, population explosion and even crime are all interconnected. This network of problems won't be solved by any one expert or any number of experts. It is one problem and has to be tackled as one. Charles Birch, On Purpose. Charles Birch argues that the universe is more akin to a life than a machine.

  • Introduction Chapter 1
    Notes Introduction 1. The Economist, December 23, 2006–January 5, 2007. 2. Charles Hartshorne’s own brand of process thought is basically a theistic meta- physics. Indeed it is natural theology. In our investigation, therefore, we will keep in mind the close connection between Hartshorne’s metaphysical concept of person and his idea of God. Hartshorne claims that wrong views about God lead to wrong views about human beings. This work therefore complements Santiago Sia’s God in Process Thought: A Study in Charles Hartshorne’s Concept of God (Dordrecht: Martinus Nijhoff, 1985). 3. Alfred North Whitehead, Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology, Corrected Edition, eds. David Ray Griffin and Donald W. Sherburne (New York: Free Press, 1979), 21n32. Henceforth cited as PR. Chapter 1 1. The distinction between strict and nonstrict theories of personal identity has also been referred to in the literature as the “nonreductionist” and “reductionist,” as well as the “simple” and “complex views.” Cf. Harold Noonan, Personal Identity (London: Routledge, 1989).

  • TEMPLETON PRIZE for Progress Toward Research Or Discoveries
    TEMPLETON PRIZE For Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities including research in love, creativity, purpose, infinity, intelligence, thanksgiving and prayer The Templeton Prize is the leading religion prize and among the world's largest monetary awards. Announced each spring at the Church Center for the United Nations in New York City, the prize is awarded to a living individual who has shown extraordinary originality in research or discoveries to advance understanding of God and spiritual realities. Recent winners include Freeman Dyson, Arthur Peacocke, Sir John Polkinghorne and Holmes Rolston III. The Duke of Edinburgh presents the award at a private ceremony at Buckingham Palace. The monetary value of the Templeton Prize is always set to exceed the Nobels to underscore Templeton's belief that benefits from advances in spiritual discoveries can be quantifiably more vast than those from other worthy human endeavors. Years ago, Alfred Nobel endowed a series of now famous and generous prizes for breakthroughs in fields like physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and even peace. Nobel did not, however, endow a prize for religion, no doubt because he believed that no breakthrough in religion would merit such a prize. Sir John Templeton challenged the belief that there could not be breakthroughs or progress in religion in 1973 when he created the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, awarded annually to “a living individual who has shown extraordinary originality in research or discoveries to advance understanding of God and spiritual realities.” The Prize, now much more than $1 million, is funded to provide recipients with greater financial rewards than does the Nobel.
