This project is related to our dialogue about the ecotone.
Some of the questions can be very basic, lower order thinking skill questions.
Try to create at least three higher order thinking skills questions.

Question 1:Would Einstein's ideas in both theology and physiology improve if he had a better understanding of the Bible's theme?
Question 2: “everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe—a Spirit vastly superior to that of man.” What is the difference between this "universal spirit" and the Holy Spirit?
Question 3: Which Bible stories do you think Einstein called childish, why?
Question 4:“To sense that behind everything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness. In this sense...I am a devoutly religious man.” Does this interpretation of God fit into the Agnostic, Deist, Atheist, or Pantheist category?
Question 5: Is the criticism of the Catholic book of faith by Einstein a negative or positive thing for religious and scientific ecotone, why?
Question 6: Would both Thomas Aquinas' book the Summa Theologica and Einstein's book be considered important books of knowledge for Catholicism why or why not?
Question 7: Why do you think there is so much spectacle between Einstein's religious beliefs and his theories? What is the correlation between the two?
Question 8:
Question 8: How is Einstein's idea of faith flawed? What are the benefits to his idea.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 9: Can both atheism and Christianity help each other maximize the "efficiency" of both religions.
Question 10:Why does Einstein find the idea of a superstitious God childlike?
