I intend to show the film "Martha Ballard's Diary" to my students in a few weeks. Although listed as available in the catalog, the student working at the information desk and I, earlier today, could not locate it on the shelves. Is this something you would be able to assist me with? Linda Linda Upham-Bornstein, PhD Social Science Dept., MSC 39, Rounds Hall Hi Gary,

]]> Comment on The End Of Faith : Religion, Terror, And The Future Of Reason by Michael Davidson http://library.plymouth.edu/read/215859#comment-31048 Michael Davidson Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:11:40 +0000 http://lamson.wpopac.com/library/read/215859#comment-31048 Harris' harsh treatment of the mainstream religions has offended many. In that sense, he and his fellow "new atheists" do a disservice to themselves. Harris condemns moderate faith for, he says, giving cover to extremists. The Bible, he says, is not moderate. His redeeming points include his talent for the intellectual exercise. Through thought experiments, he reduces many arguments by the faithful to wishful thinking. His most valuable argument is this: religious ideas ought to be discussed on their merits. No one's faith is exempt from rational inquiry. He thus takes a traditionally religious tack by arguing for a universal truth. One that can be revealed through reason and rigor, not scripture and prayer. Scientists, then, should not cede the mystical ground to faith; much can be learned about the human brain (for one) by exploring trances, meditation, and altered states of consciousness.
