HUMAN
The
two chapters Human Life and Life is Sacred describe when human life begins from
the viewpoints of science and theology.
Evidence in support of the sacredness of human life and the immorality of
abortion is presented from the the Old Testament, from the New Testament, from
the early Church Fathers, from Tradition, as well as from the Catechism.
It is evident that a baby is just as much a baby before birth as he or she is after
birth, so to kill him or her before birth is wrong both from the scientific as well as
from the theological point of view. Well established data from science are
evaluated and utilized to support this conclusion.
The
mathematical formalism of Catastrophe Theory is explained and then applied to
some human life questions in the next two chapters listed on the sidebar. These correspond to two articles that were
written during the 1980’s when Catastrophe Theory was in vogue. This theory is no longer of current interest,
and the articles represent the webmaster’s thinking two decades ago.
More chapters in this subject
area are
planned, and they will be posted on
this website page in the future.
