CHRISTIAN POINT OF VIEW ABOUT “SCIENCE & ISLAM”

Fides et Ratio (Faith & Science) & Science & Islam CHRISTIAN POINT OF VIEW ABOUT “SCIENCE & ISLAM” SILVIA STEIN: Interdisciplinary PhD studies in Strategic Communication and Psychophysiology What is being done in aligning the Qu’ran with scientific knowledge is similar to the two volumes written by Karol Jozef Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II), entitled in Latin, Fides et Ratio, which in English is Faith and Reason, aimed to translate the scriptures, based on the common Abrahamic tradition of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam based on anthropological studies, similar to surviving communities such as the Crimean Tatar living among Orthodox and Karaites, that linked the travelled learning group format in semi-nomadic military and business trade protected communities, who had real exposure outside of their local, hegemonous, activities. These learning groups, supported through military and business trade sponsors, worried about developing a universal principle, or commandment, and principles (identifying facts, loyalties, values, and issues) of ethical reasoning (Limburg, 1994), concerning what is morally correct in any situation (Limburg, 1994), and the actual military leadership and business management role of men and women with property prior to the wine-driven feminicidal Vatican/Napoleonic era western colonization intrusions that violated the integrity of morals, destroying the civilized integrity of the Middle East and Mediterranean, including Italian, civilizations beginning in the 18th century (Farahian, 2000 & 2002, & and pre-Napoleonic Fides et Ratio (Faith & Science) & Science & Islam Muslim law and women’s citizenship rights Washington State University scholar Prof. Mary Bloodsworth’s lectures on Wing, 2000). A similar learning group proto-type of tolerance, is the Church of Latter Day Saints, who are a native U.S. religion that developed in the specific context of the American continent, finding that amid diverse populations of indigenous and immigrants, a universal commandment and set of reasoning codes were required protecting one’s allegiance to their sovereign nation, particularly in managing electronic media within the citizenship obligations as U.S. citizens (Limburg, 1994). The goal is not conversion, persons are born into their citizenship biosphere that has evolved organically over millennia, often this has no affiliation to an ‘official’ religion and instead to generational ethical military or business family cultures, in continental Europe these are Moral Codes of Nobility and Rank and Order, with standards for subjects to elevate, uphold or to be marginalized to a lower rank, faithful to their sovereign nation. In this model the nation, its military and businesses, are the temporal power, not to be over-ridden by, though informed with the coexisting religious contemplating the Universal, particularly in cases of life or death, and the outcome of each (Brady, 2005, Stein, 2017 & Stevenson, 1997). The goal is tolerance, reflecting the intensity of the quality of meeting one another's expectations, while exchanging knowledge and a profitable business according to organizational and personal mission priorities, and growing in one’s religious identity as children through adulthood as a form of personal moral learning and salvation (Brady, 2005, Farahian, 2002 & Limburg, 1994). Knowledge and understanding written in the language of spiritual enlightenment, or Fides et Ratio (Faith & Science) & Science & Islam intuition, needed to also be understood in the language and knowledge of current scientific doctrines. The reasoning is that the Word of Allah, or God, cannot be in contradiction with the natural sciences nor other religions, for both religion and science are describing the same phenomenon, just from two different spectrums (diachronic and synchronic magnetic fields of personal and collective experience/memory) on the field of Knowledge itself. What we know through intuition, or Faith (John Paul, 2002), should be scientifically, logically, verifiable, and in balance with differing religions (Farahian, 2002), researched and tested. Faith, any Faith, and reason are two differently explained views to describing the same phenomena (John Paul. 2002). My interest is pragmatic, if war is a science, and we are at war with evil, Faith and Science must not contradict one another, contradiction in cognitive organization of mental structures, such as using imagery that contradicts the written or spoken narrative, is the logical basis of mental illnesses, particularly in psychological warfare, whence the tool is the science of communication in verbal and nonverbal forms including lethal (Stein, 2002). My Grandfather, in World War I, as a very young Italian military police enlisted person, quickly rose in rank by fighting against the Austrians as well as participating in execution squads of his own Italian enlisted and officers, to win in WWI at the Austrian front. For upholding the Honour of the Monarchy and Italy he was much later, Knighted. In Italy I was taught that military ranked Nobility is above Fides et Ratio (Faith & Science) & Science & Islam the Church, since pacifists do not win wars nor effectively defend their nation from immorality. MY OBSERVATIONS ON SCIENCE & VERSES IN QURAN 1. About the Universe [Quran, 41:53] “We shall show them our signs in the universe and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your lord is the witness of all things?” 'Witness of all things' balances with research in quantum psychology that in a holographic universe as a sound and visual, and somatic, memory vehicle this is possible, both as the collective and individual subconscious, what regulates this is the issue of archetype attraction towards an "organizing principle" which is both obvious and hidden for emergence effectiveness in the phenomena of creative problem solving and invention, or what Renee’ Descartes described as the ‘ghost in the machine’ in philosophical dualism (Kurzweil, 1999, Stein, 2017, Stevenson, 1997, & Zelazo, Moscovitch, & Thompson, 2007); 2. About the Origin of life: [Quran, 21:30] “We made every living thing from water? will they not believe?” Fides et Ratio (Faith & Science) & Science & Islam The origin of life' has often been described as memory/cognition originating, and held, in water (Metzner, 1994). It is thought water is the basis of memory, though in quantum psychology this can be reduced to magnetic memory vehicles, not needing 'water'. This approach is pioneered by Vallverdu’ and Castro (2018) in the study of cognition in slime mold among others https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323386432_Corrigendum _to_Slime_mould_The_fundamental_mechanisms_of_biological_cog nition_BioSystems_165_2018_57-70 ; 3. About the Sky’s protection: (Quran 21:32) “We made the sky a protective ceiling. And yet they are turning away from Our signs!” 'Sky's protection' falls in-line with the knowledge of the magnetic field of the earth and in the universe, having a sort of protective dome or cocoon effect. If the magnetic field functions as a memory vehicle (Metzner, 1994 & Stevenson, 1997, volume two, p. 1085 discussion of the psychophore) then altering the natural environment, even the trashing of ancient pottery upon which Muhammad and others handled with their hands, shall without doubt disorient humanity to self dissolution having lost (destroyed) its magnetic energy based memory vehicle, or organizing principle, itself (Metzner, 1994 & Stevenson, 1997); 4. About “Seas and Oceans”: (Quran, 55:19-20): “He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress. Fides et Ratio (Faith & Science) & Science & Islam Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and density (1) [Principles of Oceanography, Davis, pp. 9293] The reference to the division according to the waters (seas) of the earth, is in-line with each ethnic sovereign culture has its organizing archetypical principles, a safe zone/magnetic dome to protect its followers - each culture in this sense, is a different time zone of memory, and should not be damaged, disturbed, or violated by imagery that violates its safety - the same for language, purity of language is purity of moral thought. Violating this natural barrier threatens the sphere of evolution, cognition and memory (Limburg, 1994, Metzner, 1994, Stein, 1997, Stevenson, 1997, & Vallverdu’ & Castro, et al, 2018); 5. About “Lying & Movement”: There was a cruel oppressive tribal leader named Abu Jahl who lived during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Allah revealed a verse of the Quran to warn him:“No indeed! if he does not stop, We will seize him by the forehead, his lying, sinful forehead.”[Quran, 96:15-16]. Allah does not call this person a liar, but calls his forehead (the front part of the brain) ‘lying’ and ‘sinful’, and warns him to stop. First, a book titled ‘Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology’ which includes the results of research on the functions of this area states: Fides et Ratio (Faith & Science) & Science & Islam “The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. The part of the brain that is responsible for movement is said to be seized if the man does not stop. Secondly, numerous studies have shown that this same region (frontal lobe) is responsible for the lying function of the brain. One such study at the University of Pennsylvania in which volunteers were asked questionsduring a computerized interrogation, it was found that when the volunteers were lying there was significantly increased activity in the prefrontal and premotor cortices. Regarding the biological based practices of masking in deception, or lying, thermoimaging has established that as part of the self-gratification physiology of lying, the nasal area temperature drops, shutting off the receptivity of the smell of the target of the lie, and the forehead temperature increases, reflecting heightened agitation if caught lying (Beatty & McCroskey, 2001). The latest study on this is reported in Russia Today at https://www.rt.com/news/443636-nose-temperature-liedetector/?fbclid=IwAR3MHk8o_ItH2jdLrRmhbqCU5b4TWc_d9nXu hge21SLS1l84BmpOfzISo7Q ; 6. About the Prophet Mohamed (May Peace Be Upon Him) Prophet Muhammad's housing contractual context is often ignored, except by historical scholars such as Farahian, S.J., Egyptian lecturer at the Gregorian Pontifical University, Rome, Italy. Do not forget that Muhammad married an older woman, who inherited Fides et Ratio (Faith & Science) & Science & Islam business trade wealth from her father - thus his cultivation as a scholar was probably in part a result of his housing context - to philosophize about the real questions of the universe requires material security and sponsoring families (Aristotle & Wing, 2000); BIBLIOGRAPHY: My writing is based on the role of women in early Islam, and their right of citizenship and property, in lectures by Mary Bloodsworth, PhD, lecturer on global feminism, and the eschatological lectures of Egyptian Prof. Edmond Farahian, S.J., Universita' Pontificia Gregoriana, Rome, besides the studies of Prof. James McCroskey in biology and communication, and former Chair of Psychiatry and Perceptual Studies, Prof. Ian Stevenson, MD at University of Virginia Barber, B (2003).
