@TSEliotSocUK @East_Coker "In my beginning is my end.
In my end is my beginning".

"And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time.
A condition of complete simplicity
Costing not less than everything".

@RichardDawkins Why not ask your great predecessor at Oxford, Charles Alfred Coulson? Sure you have read his book "Science and Christian Belief".

@RichardDawkins A.J. Ayer et al meaningless theory of meaning...
If 'Grace' is meaningless, then all that is not (1) quantity and number and (2) matter of fact and existence is meaningless. Since this is not the case, commit to the flames all that David Hume and his philosophical progeny wrote.

@amjuster It is a very safe generalization to say that most published poems are bad poems. This generalization equally applies to books in the various fields of humanities.

[Adib Saab @adib_saab]

@philosophersmag It's good that Russell stated 'as organised in its churches'. However, he could not defend his thesis that 'religion is bad for ethics' except by the famous logical fallacy of 'argumentum ad hominem'.

قريباً جداً: طبعة جديدة من كتاب أديب صعب
"المقدّمةفي فلسفة الدين" (1994)
Shortly: a new edition of Adib Saab's book
Prolegomena to the Philosophy of Religion
(First Arabic book in the philosophy of religion, 1994)

[Adib Saab @adib_saab]

@philosophersmag It all depends on what definition one gives to 'Miracle'.
Although David Hume's philosophy of religion is wrong, no theology or defence of faith is possible without a settlement of account with Hume's statements on religion.

@JustinWelby @AnglicanWorld @secsynod @bishopnorwich @COP26 @churchofengland @LiviJGraham @CofEEnvironment Let us not forget Archbishop William Temple in his great book, 'Nature, Man and God' (Gifford Lectures), who viewed the whole nature as a medium of Divine Revelation. This should mean that what we call 'human rights' are the (divine) rights of the Creator in His creation.

[Adib Saab @adib_saab]

@RichardDawkins This also applies to copy editors - on books or articles - who take the freedom to change, even distort, the original version. An editor should be a specialist in the subject he/she works on. The only freedom he ought to have is to turn 'wrong' into 'right' and improve original.

[Adib Saab @adib_saab]

@philosophersmag This was the core question of the famous Russell-Copleston debate. While Fr Copleston found in Leibniz's question the key to 'prove' the existence of God, Russell found it superfluous, and his reply was something like 'Why not?': 'The world is there, and that's all'.

@JustinWelby "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for [upon] grace" (John 1: 16).
ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ πληρώματος αὐτοῦ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἐλάβομεν, καὶ ��άριν ἀντὶ χάριτος.

[Adib Saab @adib_saab]

@JustinWelby These two commandments are indeed the Golden Rule. But 'as Christians today', there are very many challenges besides 'climate change'. First and foremost comes Peace, inside and outside: in self, society, and worldwide, peace sought not by any means which betray its cause.
