More From Thomas Paine

With a background in science i am extremely interested in the meeting ground of science, theology, and philosophy, especially the ethical questions at the border of science and theology.
Philosophy Ethical Questions Borders
In every system of theology, therefore, there is a chapter de libero arbitrio. this is a question which every theologian finds in his path, and which he must dispose of; and on the manner in which it is determined depends his theology, and of course his religion, so far as his theology is to him a truth and reality
Reality Path Determined
Often, when i want to read something that is satisfying to me as theology, what i actually read is string theory, or something like that - popularizations, inevitably, of scientific cosmologies - because their description of the scale of things and the intrinsic, astonishing character of reality coincides very beautifully with the most ambitious theology. it is thinking at that scale, and it is thinking that is invested with meaning in a humanly evocative form. that's theology.
Character Reality Thinking
There is no conflict between science and theology, except where there is bad science or bad theology.
Conflict Theology
All definite knowledge - so i should contend - belongs to science; all dogma as to what surpasses definite knowledge belongs to theology. but between theology and science there is a no man's land, exposed to attack by both sides; this no man's land is philosophy.
Philosophy Knowledge Men
Theology differs from science in many respects, because of its different subject matter, a personal god who cannot be put to the test in the way that the impersonal physical world can be subjected to experimental enquiry. yet science and theology have this in common, that each can be, and should be defended as being investigations of what is, the search for increasing verisimilitude in our understanding of reality.

Reality, truth, and jesus christ are incredibly open-ended
Jesus Reality Christ
In our daily lives we attend primarily to that which the senses are spelling out for us: to what the eyes perceive, to what the fingers touch. reality to us is thinghood , consisting of substances that occupy space; even god is conceived by most of us as a thing. the result of our thinginess is our blindness to all reality that fails to identify itself as a thing, as a matter of fact.
Eye Reality Space
The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. we're growing old. it's getting late.
Reality Waiting Growing
It is as if there were in the human consciousness a sense of reality, a feeling of objective presence, a perception of what we may call something there, more deep and more general than any of the special and particular senses by which the current psychology supposes existent realities to be originally revealed.
