Science and PhilosophyI. The EtherSome things are so obvious we hardly need express them. Among them is the truth that nothing (ie, non-existence) does not exist. Yet this is the claim implicit in the assertion of scientists that space is a void, a place empty of any matter. Aristotle, and after him St Thomas Aquinas, consistent with common sense, taught that this is impossible. Aristotle gave a name to the matter with which the apparent void in the heavens is filled, 'aether'. more II. The Theory of KnowledgeHow is it that we know? The explanation derives from the doctrines of causality, and of matter and form. more III. Design in NatureDr Michael Denton's 'Nature's Destiny' is a compelling study from a scientific point of view of the evidence for design in nature. moreIV. Shaking the Darwinian FoundationsThe second of two articles on evolutionary theory, this one considers Dr Michael Denton's two books on the subject and criticises the logic of his position. It contrasts with it that of Aristotle and St Thomas, and the Catholic position. more V. Atheism's Great Cosmogenic MythDarwinian evolution is atheism's response to God's revelation of His creation. Unproven and unprovable, it is founded on nothing more than assertion. more VI. Science and Aristotle's AetherIn 2004, American philosopher, Christopher A Decaen, published in 'The Thomist' a remarkable paper on Aristotle's aether. This commentary on what he had to say there is an attempt to develop the consequences of Aristotle's thought - as refined by St Thomas Aquinas - in the light of modern science. more VII. Further Thoughts on Aristotle's AetherA further short commentary on the thesis advanced in 'Science And Aristotle's Aether'. more
