Is Our Vision of God Obsolete?  Often What We Believe Is Not What We Observe

A new book from G.R. Pafumi, soon available in both print and e-book formats at all major online bookstores.

Our current vision of God varies by culture and by religion.  It has changed over the millennia.  We no longer believe in the pagan gods of the Romans and Greeks.  Why should we expect that our current view of God will remain unchanged?  Scientific knowledge and discovery is occurring at a pace never before experienced in human history. Yet our concept of God remains mired in the 15th century.  Religious dogmas were conceived centuries ago.  It will become increasingly difficult for religious leaders to convince anyone who has been educated in modern science to blindly accept archaic doctrines as literal truth.

We do not need to abandon our belief in God to accept modern science and discovery.  However were it not for human inquiry, we would still be living in caves.  Religious scripture is a combination of literature, myth and superstition.  Science and inquiry has and will continue to conflict with ill-founded religious myths.  This is what intelligent design advocates fear most about science and discovery.  My book addresses the issue of the sometime contension between science and religion and suggests that each try not to tread in the other's domain.  I conclude my final chapter with the axiom, "LEAVE GOD IN THE PEWS…AND SCIENCE IN THE LABORATORY!"  I hope visitors to this site will review the various excerpts from my book with an open mind.  They may then draw their own conclusions about whether they want to rethink their own vision of God.  It just might be obsolete too.
