Mapping Reality: A Critical Perspective on Science and Religion

New book release: "Mapping Reality"

Lincoln, NE (PRWEB) July 15, 2006 -- "Mapping Reality" is a critical perspective on science and religion, and specifically on faith (religion and science) and rational thought (science). Science gives us scientific ‘facts,’ and religion supplies us with religious ‘truths.’ However, what can we accept confidently as ‘really’ true?

"Mapping Reality" is an endeavor to illustrate (by means of examples) how inadequate human thought and senses are, and how humans never truly can understand reality. Absolutely everything we know is based on faith. We must clearly distinguish between reality (the territory,) and what we perceive to be reality (the map of the territory.)

In our journey through life, we need something to guide us, to give us reassurance that we are on the right tract. Modern science has done its best to take that reassurance away from us; telling us that there is no destination, no purpose in life; that our lives are an accident of ‘Nature.’ Organized religion is also not helping anymore; it has become dogmatic, sectarian, and self-serving. We have lost the core, the real message, of religion, but we still need true spirituality; we need a map to the Truth.
