Founder of Big-Bang Theory dies an atheist..

no I dont think it should have been taken down by Tedx (that have some real bad stuff on there) - its strange that you see the line between Pseudoscience and normal science so clear, when it clearly isnt. New ideas should be pushed into science that is how we get Paradigm shifts and new ways of understanding the universe around us. Just look at the history of science.

Recently I was reading an article and it sounded similar to what Sheldrake was selling.

Greetings and peace be with you czgibson;

I'm here to learn about Islam, and I've been lucky enough to do so for over a decade now.

Me too, my intentions have always been to search for greater interfaith relations, the same God hears all our prayers.

Forgiveness is a profound subject in Islam, to forgive someone who has wronged you, seems to go against human nature, but it is where we heal our wounds and it brings us closer to God. If you have an hour and a half spare, can I suggest you watch this video on forgiveness, posted by aamifi on this forum a couple of days ago. Mufti Menk explores forgiveness in some extreme ways, I watched in in two sittings, there is some Arabic but repeated in English.

I've read Thomas Kuhn and I'm familiar with the idea of paradigm shifts in science. The crucial point you're missing is that an idea needs good supporting evidence in order to become part of science, and then perhaps it will initiate a paradigm shift.

That is a philosophy essay. The author does not claim he has made a new discovery in science, like Sheldrake does. Thank you for providing a perfect example to illustrate the difference.

Peace
