Star Trek and Faith, Volume 1
From The Original Series of the 1960s to Strange New Worlds today, Star Trek has always explored philosophical and religious ideas, pushing the boundaries of thought and entertaining us along the way. While full of secular concepts, the franchise has interacted with Christian beliefs for decades. In Star Trek and Faith, Mark S. Hansard examines the intersection of Star Trek and Christianity, utilizing logic and critical thinking to investigate the ideas in both new and old Trek series to compare them with a Christian worldview. Is Christianity manipulative? Is God capricious, angry, and insecure? Is it rational to believe in the resurrection of Jesus? Does predestination contradict our free will? Join Hansard in a thrilling ride through the galaxy, exploring Christian ideas through the lens of Star Trek.
Myth-Busting in Science and Religion
“Science and religion” is one of those subjects where everyone knows a lot of things that just ain’t so. This is because of the numerous urban legends about how the two fields have interacted historically and how they do so today. These false beliefs are ubiquitous in Western civilization, especially in academia, prompting many people to oversimplify the issues. This book corrects many of these urban legends and confusions involving premodern cosmology, the alleged persecution or even martyrdom of scientists for discoveries that challenged the religious status quo, the history and nature of biological evolution, the potential discovery of rational extraterrestrial life, and whether miracles would somehow conflict with the laws that science has discovered. As one might expect, reality turns out to be much more complex than the stories suggest.
