It's fair to say that the relationship between science and Christianity has been long and mixed. The anti-science fundies have indeed skewed things so that a very incorrect but simplistic heuristic has developed into an either/or: You're either a fundamentalist christian with no nuance or an...

I just checked with my husband who was an archaeology major back in the day and who has kept up with the field. He confirmed it was the norm that most archaeological finds were in trash heaps. He said that archaeologists do try to extrapolate from every bit of evidence they find. However he...

I don't know why or how it ended up there. I don't know if any of the scholars know or could know. I can think of all sorts of reasons right off the top, but I'm just guessing As I pointed out, sometimes materials were suppressed by opponents, so they would destroy or discard them. People...

For those who believe scriptures are divinely revealed, is this considered mysticism? A sub set of mysticism? A separate class of things somehow?

I read a lot too, often had little else to do, but even if I did, reading was often a first choice. I don't remember if it was very easy to find material on other religions. I think once I was a teenager I tried. I found the Book of Mormon in the library. But it's also possible that I simply...

Reviewing this while searching for something else - but I had another thought. There are so, SO many ways in which I could have used more adult mentoring on pragmatic life skills. But it occurs to me how incredibly problematic it could have been if someone had tried to step in and teach me any...

Yet mythology is so much a part of our history

The reading group I was in in 2nd grade used Greek and/or Roman mythology as the subject matter. It was fun and interesting material. Lucky too, as later on, I encountered those mythologies only in passing until college - and even then only because I took a Latin class, not because any classics...

I always thought mysticism, in any religion, had something to do with having more contact with the Divine, and some kind of revelatory experience, like visions, dreams, guidance, or something of that sort. (occasionally physical effects like stigmata or something)

This reminds me of that classic book "The Impersonal Life" by Joseph Brenner (although sometimes listed as Anonymous)

Good idea. I need to really sit and read the Metaphysical Bible Dictionary. I've had a copy of it for years.
