WISE UP!
Tired of feeling like a puppet? Sometime when you are alone, ask yourself, and honestly try to answer this question. What is the major reason there is so much resentment, intolerance, and conflict in your community and around the world? After all, most people are born rational so why can’t they all get along. Floyd Glidewell thinks it is because so many people rely on someone else to tell them what to think, what to believe, who to like, who to hate, and how to behave. They depend on others for many reasons but sometimes its because they lack the information needed to form their own opinions.
Lying at the heart of many disagreements are differing views on some very profound questions:
- How the universe formed.
- How man got here.
- How man came to invent religions to answer these questions and help him cope with some of the horrible realities of life and death.
The problem with religious explanations is that each religion proclaims its answers to these questions are the only true ones and anyone or any group professing others should be considered immoral and dangerous. This competition of improvable ideologies creates tension between individuals and groups whenever one attempts to convert the other. Of course, an alternative explanation for these Big Questions is a scientific one based on provable facts.
Since most people are not scientists, Glidewell wrote his new book, Settled Science, in simple, everyday language that reads much like a conversation, to explain how scientists think the natural world came to be as it is today. He believes that anyone who visits his Web site, SettledScience.Com, thinks about its contents, and then reads his book, will gain the knowledge needed to intelligently form his or her own opinions about these important matters and avoid falling victim to the faulty opinions of others.
