The purpose of this forum is to explore the religious and scientific questions raised in A Collision Of Truths: A Life In Conflict With A Cherished Faith by Robert Y. Ellis (to see the website click here> www.acollisionoftruths.com) and generate a general discussion of religion and science, in a measured and sober manner. Collision is the first narrative to reveal one Christian Science family’s story – their lives, their way of worship, the author’s discoveries that later in life changed his faith, and why his struggle over the relevance of faith continues to this moment. Ellis lays out his faith’s underpinnings and those singular episodes that collided with his beliefs including his devotedly Christian Science mother being treated at the Harvard University cyclotron, his father’s unsolved murder in Harlem in New York City, and the religious tensions in his childhood home that ultimately exploded. Ellis’ sometimes painful, always captivating journey will inspire everyone being challenged by today’s extraordinary scientific discoveries which appear to leave no room for God. To date readers of many faiths have responded with thanks for the "permission" Collision gave them to explore their own beliefs. While we reserve the right to delete distasteful material, this is a completely “open” forum so please feel welcome to comment on Topics already started or to start your own Topic. It is the view of the creators of this forum that the universe holds more than the projections of the five human senses, and that, in keeping with the spirit of Collision, it is entirely reasonable and salutary to speculate on what may lie outside the 'box.'
