Book excerpt: “[A] scathing assessment . . . Berry shows that Wilson's much–celebrated, controversial pleas in Consilience to unify all branches of knowledge is nothing more than a fatuous subordination of religion, art, and everything else that is good to science . . . Berry is one of the most perceptive critics of American society writing today.” —The Washington Post “I am tempted to say he understands [Consilience] better than Wilson himself . . . A new emancipation proclamation in which he speaks again and again about how to defy the tyranny of scientific materialism.”—The Christian Science Monitor In Life Is a Miracle, the devotion of science to the quantitative and reductionist world is measured against the mysterious, qualitative suggestions of religion and art. Berry sees life as the collision of these separate forces, but without all three in the mix we are left at sea in the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essay on Superstition: Being an Inquiry Into the Effects of Physical Influence on the Mind, in the Production of Dreams, Visions, Ghosts, and Other Supernatural Appearances The idea thus suggested to the Author was acted upon, and from this arose a seriesof communications to the Christian Observer, during the course Of the past year. These Essays are now collected into one volume, and are presented to the Public, with various cor rections, and additional illustrations, in the hope that they may prove acceptable to a larger class of readers; and that they may be useful in undermining the wall of prejudice, which has been just alluded to: their Author most sincerely and'fervently prays, that they may prove the means of widening the agency of real religion, by contracting the limits of the prejudices against its influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Superstition and Science: An Essay Revelation some reject Miracles, and think those who believe in them superstitious. Some are willing to admit past Miracles, but ridicule the superstition of those who believe the pos sibility of present or future Miracles. Many who profess to believe in Miracles more gene rally, and to think that what has happened may happen again, consider it necessary to do so under perpetual and earnest protests against being supposed to credit superstitious non sense about sorcery, and witchcraft, and ghosts. Many who acknowledge that there are good and evil spirits in existence, hold it to be weak and superstitious to suppose that their agency is in any way employed in the providential government Of the world, and to Speak of that agency as if it were as much a reality as the acting Of men among themselves.

Download or read book Superstition and Other Essays written by Robert G. Ingersoll and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2009-12-02 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil War veteran, successful lawyer, persuasive spokesman for the Republican Party, spellbinding orator, and controversial iconoclast, Col. Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1899) was one of the best-known intellectuals of the 19th century. He rose to national prominence through his gift for oratory, which he publicly displayed on numerous lecture circuit tours. For almost twenty years this dedicated popularizer of progressive thinking and staunch critic of superstition would regularly address huge audiences, opening their minds to ideas that often provoked guarded whispers in private. Ingersoll was a man far ahead of his time, who advocated agnosticism, birth control, voting rights for women, the advancement of science, and civil rights for all races. Though eloquent on a wide variety of topics, he became most famous, and notorious, for his provocative lectures questioning the traditional, Bible-based Christian worldview of the age. In this volume are collected his best-known lectures on religion, the Bible, and related subjects. Included are "Why I Am an Agnostic"; "The Truth"; "What Is Religion?"; "Superstition"; "What Infidels Have Done"; "What Should You Substitute for the Bible as a Moral Guide?"; "Crumbling Creeds"; "The Liberty of Man, Woman, and Child"; and "Love." This outstanding collection is indispensable for freethinkers, humanists, and open-minded people of all persuasions. Note: This volume is available individually or as part of a two-volume set with On the Gods and Other Essays by Robert by Ingersoll: two-volume set (ISBN 1-59102-171-5): $50.
