Conversations Beyond Science and Religion: Science’s Dirty Secret Revealed: It Fudges the Math to Explain the World

We rely upon the leaders of modern science to tell us the truth, particularly when the subject is the nature of the very world we live in. But it is well known that modern physicists apply a gigantic fudge factor to the equations underlying their theories of the physical world. Data fudging didn’t work out too well for certain proponents of global warming. Why is no one talking about this fudging that is occurring on a much grander scale? Dr. Chris Oakley, who was driven out of the physics community for voicing objections to the fudging problem, joins host Philip Mereton from the U.K. in a conversation about why physicists resort to mathematical contrivances to explain the world, and what it means for the future of science.

Conversations Beyond Science and Religion: Lessons on the Path of Dzar

Certain people throughout history have claimed to channel spirits or to echo the voice of a higher being. On this show, host, Philip Mereton, interviews three beings from Melbourne, Australia: Mary O’Brien and her husband, Gary O’Brien, who is the channel for the third guest, known as Dzar, a set of compassionate beings from All that Is. Rarely does a radio host have the opportunity to interview the channeled spirit itself. Join us for a truly unique conversation, as you may be surprised to learn about the words of higher wisdom available now on the path of Dzar. Listen to this Episode...



Is God in the Particle, the Heavens, or Both?

            At the same time cosmologists are looking for God in a particle, quantum theory concludes the ultimate substance of the universe is not a particle, but a wave equation.  As Heisenberg famously said, “atoms are not things.” Stephen Hawking, in The Grand Design, questions whether an objective world of particles even exists independently of theory.  Rather, he says that our view of reality depends upon the governing model.  Today that governing model is materialism, the view that at the core of existence is not spirit or God but tiny things and the elusive God particle.  But what we need is not a new particle (there are already 26-odd fundamental particles in the Standard Model of particle physics), but a new model of reality.  I would guess that when science finally brings consciousness fully into the next worldview, they will no longer be looking for God in a particle, but...

Conversations Beyond Science and Religion: Ghosts in the Machine

In their 1981 album, Ghost in the Machine, the pop group Police sang about the gut-wrenching struggles of living as spirits in a material world. And, indeed, our modern world separates mind from matter, body from soul. But then how do they interact? Why does a positive frame of mind tend to make our bodies more healthy? Why do we blush when emotionally embarrassed? There must be some way mind is connected to our body; maybe they are two aspects of one thing? On this show our guest is Professor of Philosophy and Consciousness Studies at John F. Kennedy University and award-winning author, Christian DeQuincey, who joins host Philip Mereton in an engaging attempt to solve the problem of the Ghost in the Machine. >> Listen to this Episode...



Looks Like Heaven will Need to be on Earth After All

Many religions speak of a better place far off in another spiritual dimension where humankind will find peace and tranquility; where the mind rises to enlightenment, and the soul reaches Nirvana.  Others look to the Second Coming when a messiah will appear on Earth and establish the Kingdom of God.   In this kingdom, presumably, humankind will finally be united as one, brotherhood will reign, and there will be peace throughout the land.             In each one of these utopian worlds, people will necessarily be the actors in the story.  And the only way for this story to be worthy of a place called heaven is if the actors treat each other with the respect due as if the moral law is as true as the laws of science. Transporting ourselves to another world, in and of itself, will not make us better people, for we wind up being the same...
