Hi Stephen
Think I've signed up already. Not sure. When we were at Kings the other night giving a talk I saw a CFI event for the 25th April, Science and Religion, going to try and make it. May see you then

Have you thought about a CFI UK event for the North of England. York would be a great location for a day conference.

STEPHEN LAW

Dear Law,

I am cosmologist by passion. I often think about thinking that how we think?

Cosmology is science of the universe.
Cosmologists study the universe as a whole: its birth, growth,shape,size and eventual fate.

We try to read the 'Mind of God', but we are not “authentic” of our mind. We are not also authentic that how and why we think. My daughter Laila Khalid is co-researcher with me in this field "how we think?"
In our Theory of Mind, heart plays central role in thinking. Brain is only “memory machine” in all livings. We think with heart!
It's realy “heart blowing” and not “mind blowing” idea!
Animals without having their brain also think and are more smart than human in some cases. Our mind is in our heart, not in brain.

The human brain is not designed to be creative. The heart performs an incredible number of tasks. It lets you think, dream and experience emotions. It controls body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. It also controls a flood of information about the world around you from your various senses- seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, etc.
All of these tasks are controlled and regulated by heart and coordinated with brain. Our new theory of mind is a "unified theory of mind-body", a Holy Grail of Philosophy, which will also settle the mind over body problem.
Heart gives us the power to think, plan, speak,imagine......It is truly an amazing organ.
I would love any researcher to comment, share/co-author our theory in his/her research paper.

EVIDENCE, MIRACLES AND THE EXISTENCE OF JESUS

(Published in Faith and Philosophy 2011. Volume 28, Issue 2, April 2011. Stephen Law. Pages 129-151) EVIDENCE, MIRACLES AND THE EXISTENCE OF JESUS Stephen Law Abstract The vast majority of Biblical historians believe there is evidence sufficient to place Jesus’ existence beyond reasonable doubt. Many believe the New Testament documents alone suffice firmly to establish Jesus as an actual, historical figure. I question these views. In particular, I argue (i) that the three most popular criteria by which various non-miraculous New Testament claims made about Jesus are supposedly corroborated are not sufficient, either singly or jointly, to place his existence beyond reasonable doubt, and (ii) that a prima facie plausible principle concerning how evidence should be assessed – a principle I call the contamination principle – entails that, given the large proportion of uncorroborated miracle claims made about Jesus in the New Testament documents, we should, in the absence of indepen

Why I won't be voting Labour at the next General Election, not even to 'keep the Tories out'.

I have always voted Labour, and have often been a member of the Party, campaigning and canvassing for them. For what it’s worth, here’s my feeling about voting Labour next General Election:   1. When the left vote Labour after they move rightwards, they are encouraged to just move further right, to the point where they are now probably right of where e.g. John Major’s Tory party was. And each time the Tories go further right still. At some point we have got to stop fuelling this toxic drift to the right by making the Labour Party realise that it’s going to start costing them votes. I can’t think of anything politically more important than halting this increasingly frightening rightward slide. So I am no longer voting Labour. 2. If a new socialist party starts up, it could easily hoover up many of the 200k former LP members who have left in disgust (I’d join), and perhaps also pick up union affiliations. They could become the second biggest party by membership quite quickly. Our voting

Aquinas on homosexuality

Thought I would try a bit of a draft out on the blog, for feedback. All comments gratefully received. No doubt I've got at least some details wrong re the Catholic Church's position... AQUINAS AND SEXUAL ETHICS Aquinas’s thinking remains hugely influential within the Catholic Church. In particular, his ideas concerning sexual ethics still heavily shape Church teaching. It is on these ideas that we focus here. In particular, I will look at Aquinas’s justification for morally condemning homosexual acts. When homosexuality is judged to be morally wrong, the justification offered is often that homosexuality is, in some sense, “unnatural”. Aquinas develops a sophisticated version of this sort of argument. The roots of the argument lie in thinking of Aristotle, whom Aquinas believes to be scientifically authoritative. Indeed, one of Aquinas’s over-arching aims was to show how Aristotle’s philosophical system is broadly compatible with Christian thought. I begin with a sketch of Arist
