from the OP to many of the replies this thread deals with the book

this from the OP
FOREWORD

I warmly recommend this book written by Stacy Trasancos on the Christian basis and inspiration for the birth of modern science according to Fr. Stanley Jaki OSB, the great philosopher of science and theologian, member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Templeton prize-winner. The author has made a great effort and has succeeded in making Fr. Jaki’s ideas available to a larger public. Her goal is to inform more people about what Fr. Jaki actually meant by this claim that Christianity stimulated the birth of science because it is significant for people (young adults especially) to understand that faith and science are not opposed, and are indeed complementary.
also many of the posts deal with the book directly

so i would say it belongs in the forum dedicated to the book.

but perhaps there are good reasons for leaving it in the wild as well.

ahem...

oh Lord, Thou who knowest where the thread should go
please guide our beloved administrator as he attempts to solve this sensibly.
let us not depend on the "arm of flesh" or "carnal reasoning"
let us not stray to Satan's domain
just help Chris know where thou wouldst have the thread

we ask in the name above all names, the mighty name of Krishna... oh shit wrong deity, thou knowest i meant Jesus not Krishna oh Lord...

what's that Lord? "six of one half a dozen of the other"

Lord, art thou also a heretic?

:adore: :omg4: :joke:

and if LanDroid should post "Yes" in the reply after next then know assuredly that I the Lord have posted it for a sign to you of my most holy desire. (damn you edit tag :-D )
