Title
Science and Religion in the West
Creator
Allen McKiel
Description
Science and religion have had an integral relationship since the early days of the Enlightenment in the seventeenth century and the rise of a new global culture. Life-long educator Allen McKiel surveys this relationship via the writings of prominent scientists and religionists over the past four hundred years.
The experience of the unity of God is evident in stories, parables, and scriptures in all extant cultures through teachers like Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Christ, and Muhammad. They are expressions of
the same human consciousness that begs answers to the questions of identity: Who and what are we? Where did we come from, why, and where are we going?
People in all cultures ask these questions, and the answers are both the same and relative to the needs and circumstances of each culture. Today’s cultures, however, are converging into an increasingly integrated harmonious whole supported in equal part by religions and science. This work constructs a vision of the way forward from evidence provided by both.

Title
Progress
Creator
Allen McKiel
Description
This book is a collection of expository essays promoting Baha’i perspectives particularly on cultural progression through the unity of science and religion. Baha’is acknowledge the spiritual truth and guidance provided by religion as it has progressed throughout the cultural evolution of humanity. The current requirements for global culture include acknowledging that religion and science are as integral to each other as the human spirit is integral to the faculties of language and reasoning. Arguments are qualitative and evidence-based speculation from my personal experiences and understandings. The intent is to demonstrate perspectives and values that encourage solutions based on reason, evidence (including the evidence of testimony), critical review, and the individual pursuit of truth. Extensive quotes from other authors’ works are included to weave a fabric of voices relevant to that intent. My commentaries on those quotations are not understood by me as definitive, particularly those on scripture. They are simply my thoughts on those quotes as they relate to aspects of the general themes of this work.
