Christian Science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Christian Science is a teaching regarding the efficacy of spiritual healing according to the interpretation of the Bible by Mary Baker Eddy, in her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (Eddy, 1934). Christian Science shares with George Berkeley a belief in the unreality of matter, but it rejects matter not just as a superfluous term or concept--for Christian Science, what we call the material world is a kind of hallucinatory distortion of the underlying spiritual reality, a distortion that can be healed through prayer. Christian Science was elaborated by a female thinker--Mary Baker Eddy--who rejected the "coldness" of traditional philosophy and emphasized the importance of love (in the sense of agape) as well as abstract thought, and indeed the desirability of the integration of the two. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Christian_Science   (4438 words)

Christian Science Christian Science continues to uphold her belief that Jesus revealed to people their illusion of illness and thus cured them, even though she was not cured and sought out a medicinal illusion.

Their publications are The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Sentinel, The Christian Science Journal, The Herald of Christian Science, published in 12 foreign languages as well as in English Braille; (which seems to be an oxymoron from their own beliefs) and The Christian Science Quarterly, containing the Bible lessons studied daily by Christian Scientists. www.letusreason.org /Cults18.htm   (8674 words)

CSEC -- An Introduction to Christian Science Christian Science gives a clear understanding of God and of man made in His image and likeness; and with this understanding we are able to rise above false thinking and its effects.

Reason: Christian Science: Trial exposes Intelligent Design as the religion it is Proponents like Stephen Meyer, Director of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, claim that "the theory of intelligent design holds that there are tell-tale features of living systems and the universe that are best explained by an intelligent cause." In other words, life is too complex to have developed through purely natural causes. This country was founded on Christianity and our students should be taught as such." Interestingly, Judge Jones found that board members later lied under oath about making these and other similar statements because they realized that their words revealed the religious, not scientific, motivations behind their actions. This was made plain in the Institute's now notorious "wedge strategy" in which the Institute explained that it planned to forge ID into a "wedge" to cut down the "giant tree" of scientific materialism. www.reason.com /rb/rb122305.shtml   (817 words)

Christian Science | MetaFilter Life makes more sense when you think that the Christian fundamentalists are going through a "last gasp" of sorts. I'm not suprised that he wrote that stuff, since his office door was covered with Weekly World news headlines and insane Christian fundamentalist stuff about Christianity, and he approaches religion from a historical/archaeological/literary angle, so it must drive him nuts to have to deal with that stuff. I'm not sure Kristol and Bork are arguing against science, or evolution; just against those arrogant enough to think that it explains everything; or explains how the process began, or why we are here, or why we are not just animals. www.metafilter.com /mefi/47302   (6635 words)
