Islam is the Word of Allah which provides us the path which we have to follow and acquire knowledge. In my opinion we should not verify Islam through scientific investigations or vice versa. If as Muslims we start thinking as our self a "Muslim Scientist" instead of "Scientist", I think problems will be removed because by assuming as self as "Muslim Scientist" we submit our self to All Mighty Allah and acknowledge that our knowledge is limited whereas HIS (Allaha's) knowledge is Absolute. In this way, science is tool which provides us a mean to understand Islam. I have published a theory "Unified theory of Mind: From Man to Machine Consciousness" as a part of my PhD work. I have argued that what ever knowledge we perceive is limited to our 3D sensors where as reality exists in higher dimensions, therefore we cannot use science to validate religion, rather we need "Islamization of our Scientific Studies"

  Does religion have a place in the public space/discourse?

The most hit as presently diagnosed is perhaps not the economic crisis of a global nature.

Religion, as a "binding force", actually recreates our pursuit to self-fulfillment - and it is not about "opium". To displace religion in the public sphere is to do injustice to ourselves because of the human longing we have. Even the technical progress we have are "models" of the human longing we have. It is therefore dangerous if these "models" would be used against human longing by means of injustice. Religion is faith + practice, all because of our human longing that needs perfection and completion.

  Why the unity of Christianity was important in preparation of the end of times?

  We are in the middle ages, the conflict between the pope and the sacred roman empire in europe for the title of universal power on christianity. "The reconstruction of the monarchies also wentWe are in the middle ages, the conflict between the pope and the sacred roman empire in europe for the title of universal power on christianity. "The reconstruction of the monarchies also went against the projected Dominium Mundi. Because of this, Frederick I, as well as his son and successor Henry VI, tried to conciliate both events imagining a universal temporal empire, at whose front was an emperor with supreme authority, superior to the power of various kings, called "régulos" or "local kings". This supreme authority seemed necessary, because it was believed that the Empire was the way to maintain unity in Christianity in preparation for the end times. Without considering this eschatological and messianic element, one cannot correctly understand what the Empire meant for the men of the time, in particular for emperor Frederick I." My problem is that I don't understand this eschatological and messianic element, I always through that the judgment at the end of times is and individual one.

    First of all, unity brings hope that is firm. The problem with "empires" and "kingdoms" as the basis of unity is that empires and kingdoms do not last. Empires/kingdoms rise and fall according toFirst of all, unity brings hope that is firm. The problem with "empires" and "kingdoms" as the basis of unity is that empires and kingdoms do not last. Empires/kingdoms rise and fall according to time. They may unite a certain legacy, but as time passes, these do not last. They can stand the test of time, but not for long. Emperors and kings are aware of this, much as they build walls to protect their empires and kingdoms from being invaded by intruders. The last thing that every Christian can hold to is HOPE. The triadic movement of the theological virtues by which HOPE is included calls every Christian to recognize their vocation firmly attached to God, irrevocable in human nature. Another proposal is to uphold the truth in the Sacred Scriptures. Christianity is expected to be prophetic and hence call to the proclamation of truth across cultures and times. In this way, hope and trust go together, and hence, in this way, trusting in the Lord is in itself a hopeful spirit, being attached to the unshakable and unchanging SOURCE of all things. At this time, I think HOPE is worth emphasizing simply because all of us desire clarity of direction of life, amidst evil and darkness we experience.

This is why word meaning is based on how, where, and when words are being used and not the language alone. It is a holistic process. Without the environmental context in which language is spoken for example, the true meaning of what is being said is lost. When someone yells "fire" in a filled theater, the meaning is very different than when someone says, "fire" with several soldiers pointing rifles at a prisoner standing in front of a wall. Universal Grammar is genetically inherited and provides the awareness of linguistic order and logic. This preparation is needed to design the final socially specific grammatical apparatus, and corresponding cultural meaning.

  What is the majority religion among scientists?

  It would be great with recent data. Normally, people think that mostly of scientists are atheists. The datas do confirm that? Grateful.
