George -- just wanted to let you know I purchased this book and last
night began my way through it.
I like it. It seems "just right" for leading a SS class on any level from
High School on up on the issues the title suggests. I'll be suggesting
such a class to our Christian Education committee later this year.
There are, of course (you knew this was coming) a few marginal notes I've
put into my copy. There are those which are complimentary; I'll not
mention them here except to say there are several such so far.
I'll pick up today on one sentence I found on page 19. You write:
"The successes of science-based technology are one indication that
science actually is telling us something about a real world."
It is not that I disagree with this, but I suggest it might well have
been offset by, say, Bohr's somewhat famous saying:
"It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature
is. Physics concerns only what we can SAY about nature."
Sorry I do not have at hand the source, so I cannot be sure of the exact
wording.
For others on this list -- the book is about $18 including shipping from
CSS Publishing. See
