Sarah Salviander on X
Astrophysicist and Christian. Interested in the intersection of science and religion. I like games, sci-fi, and weightlifting, too.

What happens when an Unstoppable Force meets an Immovable Object?: A paradoxical journey through the Universe from our minds to our heart
John Patrick McMullanSarah Salviander@physicsgeek My husband is on a Quixotic quest to assert his dominance over our dingbat cats. The whole thing reminds me of Minute Physics' speculation about what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

The Republic
PlatoSarah Salviander@KPurfectshun @ajacksost Plato's Republic was essentially the blueprint for liberal policies in the 20th century. It had enormous cultural and political impact. If it had been regarded as an anonymous work by some fictional guy, I doubt it would've had anywhere near the influence it did.

God?: A Debate Between a Christian and an Atheist
William Lane CraigSarah Salviander@BanjoAtheist @sjggraham I'm aware of Randall, and generally am not in favor of his approach. The problem is, how do you decide which things God did and didn't do? I find William Lane Craig's scholarly / literary / historical approach better.

Resistance
J. M. DillardSarah SalvianderI started watching season 3 of 'Star Trek: Picard' last night, and I'm stunned by how good it is. The story, the F/X, the soundtrack, the acting – all superb. This is the treatment Picard and the Next Gen crew deserve. My beloved Star Trek is back. 💜🖖 https://t.co/Qm4SDaGgY2

For the Glory of God: How Monotheism Led to Reformations, Science, Witch-Hunts, and the End of Slavery
Rodney StarkSarah Salviander@OmniKevlar That's not really what happened. Note that Copernicus didn't suffer a similar fate for writing his book on the subject. I recommend reading sociologist Rodney Stark's book "For the Glory of God" to understand the full story.

Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo
Sean B. CarrollSarah Salviander@Redsabr You're not looking carefully enough. Even secular books like Carroll's "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" practically announce God in neon letters.

Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think
Elaine Howard EcklundSarah Salviander@MarlonDeBlasio Lots of reasons. But sociologist Elaine Ecklund touches on some in her book, "Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think."
