My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge: Hosea 4:6.

This is the official ping list for Depths of Pentecost: I’m a Christian blogger who writes weekly Bible lessons. Topics range from Bible studies, apologetics, theology, history, and occasionally current events. Every now and then I upload sermons or classes onto YouTube.

Let me know if you’d like to added to the Depths of Pentecost ping list. New posts are up every Saturday.

Galileo wasn’t burned at the stake. He was sentenced to house arrest.

God has built in protection for us in that the abilities and knowledge are not available for anyone with an impure soul.

Atheists often accuse religious people of being anti-science. They cite past examples of “superstitious” religions like the Catholic Church persecuting men for great scientific discoveries. For example, they claim Galileo was burned at the stake for stating the earth wasn’t the center of the universe. Under this pretense, they believe religion is holding science back from solving the world’s problems and that once the human race abandons all belief in God, it will be propelled into some kind of scientific utopia.

Do they ever make this complaint against de, 'ow you say, indigenous pipples???

What does ‘Pentecost’ the word literally mean?

[Seruzawa]

Religions have codes that act to restrain behavior. Yes often these fail sometimes but usually the restraints return.

Scientism has no restraints. Thus we see eugenics and dialectical materialism which slaughtered more people in the 20th century alone than all the religious wars since the fall of Rome. By a magnitude more.

[Pelham]

Of course, F.A. Hayek wrote a valuable little book on this that remains in print:

The Counter Revolution of Science: studies on the abuse of reason

and Hayek may well have coined the term scientism itself.

The book is divided into two parts:

"(1) Scientism and the Study of Society; and (2) The Counter-Revolution of Science. The former expounds the differences and peculiar histories of both the social and natural sciences, while the latter seeks to understand the historical development of "scientism", finding its roots in the rationalistic tradition of French (continental) thought."

Excellent article with which I agree. I wrote about the same issues and came to largely the same conclusions on a couple of occasions:
