The question "Is Christianity Intellectually Respectable?" was viewed from the scientific, historical and behavioral viewpoints by five faculty members Thursday at the KU-Y Campus Forum
5 State Views On Christianity
Panel members discussing the question were William Gilbert, associate professor of history; Robert Ridgway, associate professor of education; N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, and Robert Caws, visiting assistant professor of philosophy. Ambrose Saricks, associate professor of history, moderated.
Dr. Gilbert, in viewing the question from a historical standpoint, said that in the 16th century, the question would not have arisen. Theology was the leading interest then, while natural science is the principal intellectual interest now.
As a result of this, reality is that
which can be measured in quantities, not qualities, he said. The Bible shows that Christ's virtues are ways of knowledge and this can't be proved or disproved by science, he said. Qualities and values constitute a realm of being just as real as a realm capable of being measured.
According to Dr. Ridgway, a person can't escape thinking that what he does to make other people better has to be intellectually respectable.
He also pointed out that along with scientific knowledge in prospective employees, industry is seeking persons with the ability to get along with others.
Other Evidence
As another evidence of intellectual respect of Christianity, he said that the scientist has faith in the laws of nature as one of the basic beliefs in his work.
Dr. Storer said that he questions the existence of God because it is the only way in which the science of astronomy can interpret the universe and what is in it.
He said that he doesn't see a purpose or guiding force in the universe and can't see how prayer can alter the universe.
God Sum Total
Although Dr. Storer does not profess to know answers to questions of the universe, he said that he could see a direction in which these answers would be found.
"I see God as the sum total of all laws of the universe both scientific and spiritual and the possibilities resulting from them," he said.
Dr. Caws said that to be intellectual, a person must be consistent and it is hard to be intellectual with the dogmatic Christianity.
