Hey guys, Xiao Jun and Yanting will be leaving us to join 06S69, so let's wish them the best of luck! To quote Issac, "once a 61, always a 61".
Anyway, good read: http://chinesestudies.tripod.com/visan2.html - The ancient China philosophy of language.
Have also been reading on religion and philosophy, as well as the inate inductive logic. These books are good:
1) William Alston - Perceiving God
2) Torrance - Theological science
3) Thomas Senor - The rationality of belief and the plurality of faith (collection of essays, actually)
4) Richard Gale - On the nature and existence of God
How many of you are Calvinists anyway? That is, believing that religious truths (or so to speak) are basic logical pathways, and that religion and God are independent from science.
If I could disprove certain historical events of religious value in the Bible, say the presence of Jesus at the last supper, would it push you to NOT believe in the religion?
Something to think about.
