Articles: Vol 1. Issue 1 (2008-2009)
Nothing, Nothingness and Zero - by Dr. Willie Maartens
Non-Being {0} is not Non-Existence { }, but rather Existence in a state devoid of attributes, qualities, or activities, as far as
manifestation is concerned {0, 1, 2, …}, although all possible manifestation must be latent therein – in fact, the meaning of Non-
Being may be stated as ‘Being, in Latency’.
Mathematics of Hindu God - by Chanchal Malviya
Science has opened up the secrets of materialistic world. But humans are yet ignorant about whatever is not-material. No
religion dares to describe God with materialistic features, except Hinduism.
Aether - The Physicalists' God - by Laurent Duchesne
Aether is but does not exist as matter, it is before spacetime, before the Big Bang, Inflation, a CMB... etc. It is not matter,
therefore, notions like motion, size or duration are not applicable, time does not apply. It is outside the rules of spacetime.
Aether becomes through matter.
Religion, Science and Social Progress - by Saberi Roy
If we use a term by Thomas Kuhn, then a ‘paradigm shift’ in the sciences bringing about changes in the concept of matter and
causality would in turn affect the concept of God as the first cause. So if there is a change in the concept of God, I can see all
religions based on the personal concept of God being incompatible with the changes in the sciences.
Freud and Religion - by John Smethers, Ph.D
Twelve-step programs, such as Alcoholic's Anonymous, advocate "God, as we understood him." This leaves God open to interpretation.
AA members can view God in any way they want and still be accepted in mainstream society by using the term 'God'. However, many of
those do not consider themselves religious. It would be interesting to know how much of the population believe in the God of traditional
religious theory like that of the Christian faith (creationists), and how many believe in the term God to describe an entity that does not
comply with the traditionalists.
Sources of Theology in Africa - by Dr. Leopold A. Foullah
Africa with its diverse cultures and unique worldviews has its own sources in discussing God. Any guide to the pursuit of an
African Theology in the Christian tradition needs be surveyed from God's perspective with an underlying African worldview
God and Science - by Sam Vaknin, Ph.D
If neurons were capable of introspection and world-representation, would they have developed an idea of "Brain" (i.e., of God)?
Would they have become aware that they are mere intertwined components of a larger whole? Would they have considered
themselves agents of the Brain - or its masters? When a neuron fires, is it instructed to do so by the Brain or is the Brain an
emergent phenomenon, the combined and rather accidental outcome of millions of individual neural actions and pathways?
God and the Necessity of Religion - by Saberi Roy
Contrary to what most people think, explaining the pattern or design in the universe scientifically with evolution or explaining the
workings of the body with genetics are not the ultimate questions that apparently separate science and religion.
