Can religion inspire scientific discovery, part 1. Verses from the Holy Quran on science and reflection are discussed and presented. For example, points such as the emphasis that the Holy Quran places on reflection and pondering. The episode then explores the relationship between scientific knowledge and spiritual knowledge, which is discussed in detail. Points on how one should approach spiritual knowledge, what is spiritual knowledge and physical knowledge and what are the boundaries of both. What commonalities and differences are described in the Holy Quran in relation to both. The insights from the Holy Quran, sayings of the Holy Prophet and the successors of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association are discussed. Points such as heaven and hell, and the laws of science and laws of spirituality are contrasted. The link between the two. Hereafter exists in the same space, multi dimensions. There is discussion about our limits of our understanding and continual evolving state of our understanding of the physical world, illustrated by a short discussion the changing model of gravity from Newtons to the present day.

Starting from historical perspective the episode covers certain scientific achievements in the Golden age. Emphasis is placed on three scholars: Ibn Haytham (Alhazen), Al Biruni, Ibn Sina (Avicenna). Al Haytham is considered the father of modern optics and the father of the scientific method. Sometimes referred to as one of the greatest scientists of all time. Al Biruni, was a polymath (like all three examples) and authored 146 works relating to astronomy, mathematics, and geography, did survey on India. Al Biruni, visited India, studied Hinduism and worked out mathematical proofs for the circumference of the earth. Avicenna wrote a magnificent medical textbook (Canon of Medicine) that was renowned across the world for many centuries until 17 th century. He was also a great philosopher and wrote about the thought experiments such as the floating man experiment. He was a child prodigy and mastered medicine by the age of 18. The Muslim leaders at the time made significant investments in knowledge, research and scholarship through their investment in libraries, great translation movements and the thinkers themselves. Other scientists covered in the episode include Al Khwarizmi, who was a great mathematician, who developed the modern numbering system through adding the zero. He was a polymath, and worked on geography as well. Others great thinkers covered in this episode included Al Kindi and Ibn Rushd. What were these scholars motivated by? This episode explores this question to and tries to understand what the explanation for the Islamic golden age was. Earlier motivations were such as trying to solve navigation and for finding the direction for the Qibla. The Holy Quran was the great motivator. Arabic became the international language of discussion and science, and both faith and reasoning were core principles.

Is there a conflict between religion and science? In order to address the topic, there will be reference to the Holy Quran. The short answer that the episode presents, a resounding no, that there is no conflict between these two. The panel explores that both religion and science relate to a journey towards truth. There is quote of the second successor in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community who explains that there cannot be a conflict between the word and works of God. The episode explores how this conflict emerged in the past. Another similarity between the message of the Holy Quran, is observe and reflect, which is also in effect the mantra of science. In the addressing this question the definition of the spiritual world and physical world are discussed in detail. This discussion becomes philosophical in places. Another question that the episode addresses is can the study of science and natural phenomena get one closer to Allah (the Creator).

Topics covered are the fine tuning of the universe and thing have been designed with precision of events that occurred. This is a general discussion about belief in God and what evidence there is. The question of struggle and striving for the truth is discussed. The need for and importance of striving is expounded upon and how this is found in the journey of gaining secular knowledge. Parallels are drawn between ones own moral and spiritual journeys. The necessity of the gradual understanding of reality of the scientific world is essential and the time is needed for development. This episode also explores belief in the unseen and how answers the question why we can believe in God with physically being able to see our creator. Verse of the Holy Quran is discussed which speaks about belief in the unseen.

In this episode I'm am joined by Stephanie Murphy, PhD who is one of my most highly regarded wisdom keepers in the crypto space. While catching up on the complete archive of the several year running Let's Talk Bitcoin podcast I was vaguely aware that there was a sex and science show on their network but didn't, until recently discover that Stephanie is a co-host. The moment I learned of this I felt a ray of divine light beam down as I realized that we're both sex podcasters and therefore it would be appropriate for me to reach out and invite her to be a guest on the show. I often feel that the edgy and adult nature of my podcast limits the range of potential guests, in this case I felt so blessed that we could share common ground. The work she has done in the crypto space is so empowering and her compassionate fury for true personal and financial liberty has seriously changed my life. I highly recommend exploring her offerings and enjoying her voice in all of the various formats its packaged in. Our discussion covers: her personal life journey leading to her prominent role as a crypto commentator. the role of yoga, meditation, and wellness in her life and her works her experience of and thoughts on toxic masculinity and toxic patterns of conflict in the crypto space the need for more holistic approaches to conflict resolution in technology communities in general the historic human dramas that have caused forks in the bitcoin blockchain practical down-to-earth strategies for the average non-techy person to get into crypto without relying on centralized third parties the need for careful and well tested approaches to sex industry use cases for crypto and much more! About Stephanie Stephanie Murphy, PhD, is a professional voice actor with numerous credits, including national commercials, videos, and audiobook titles. She is formerly a biochemist. She can also be heard as a host of the podcasts Sex & Science Hour, Let's Talk Bitcoin, and Sovryn Tech.

What is this Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency thing you've been hearing about? Find out here. What's in the News with stories on death row, Free State Project crypto news, gun registry, taxation is theft, government cereal regulations, and Starbucks barred from closing stores. Also, a Herding Cats segment on Liberty Forum with a discount code for you, and a Statists Gonna State segment on a charity frozen by the government. This episode is brought to you by Tom Woods's Liberty Classroom, helping you to become a smarter and more informed libertarian than ever before, for just 24 cents a day. Also brought to you by NordVPN, the fastest, easiest to use service to protect your online presence that I've ever seen. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES Bitcoin is in the news big time right now thanks to its meteoric rise over the last couple of months. But, if you've been listening to this show for any amount of time, you know I've been recommending buying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies essentially since the genesis of this show three years ago. The week I started this show, Bitcoin was at $280 per coin. Now it is sitting at nearly $16,000 per coin. This is over a 5600% increase in price in three years. And the highs we've seen very recently are even higher than that. And now, since it's big news all of a sudden, you have some libertarian podcasters acting like they know some shit about it and telling you what cryptocurrencies to buy. These same podcasters have made fun of cryptocurrencies in the past and have never owned a single cryptocurrency until this month. It would be funny if it weren't so sad. I think my crypto-cred is pretty solid. I've been telling you to invest for three years and I've been an investor, and more importantly a user, of cryptocurrencies for many years. Here in New Hampshire, crypto actually has utility in my everyday life, as you'll hear more about in the What's in the News segment later in the show. Hell, even my kids have crypto wallets where they accept crypto for their small businesses.  I know many of my listeners are already on the crypto train, and I appreciate that. I've had dozens of you use my Coinbase affiliate link to get started in crypto and get a free $10 in Bitcoin for both of us. That link is at thelavaflow.com/coinbase if you're interested. Once you buy $100 in crypto through that link, we both get free money. Pretty cool. I also know that I have a lot of listeners who still aren't' into cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin yet. Well, like I have said for a long time, the best time to get into Bitcoin was in 2009. The second best time is NOW. This segment will help you with that, I hope. And, I'm more than willing to help anyone out who may have questions or need help with this if you're stuck. Also, make sure to go to thelavaflow.com/savings to check out Heleum today. WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In the state is deadly news, an Ohio man who became the third U.S. death row inmate in seven decades to survive his own execution filed a new appeal for mercy, arguing that Ohio's lethal injection protocol constitutes cruel and unusual punishment because one of its drugs may not work properly. In Free State Project crypto news, Bitcoin.com put out an article detailing six of the world's most Bitcoin-friendly neighborhoods. Number one on the list, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the home of the Free State Bitcoin Shoppe opened and run by two friends of mine, Derrick J. Freeman and Steven Zeiler. In why we don't want a gun registry news, Hawaii is one of 29 states that allow medical use of marijuana, but it is the only state that requires registration of all firearms. Now, they are using both of these laws to disarm patients who use medical marijuana for their illnesses.   In the tentacled arms of the IRS news, Meghan Markle May Become a Princess by Marrying Prince Harry, but the IRS Will Want Its Share of the Royal Jewels. In ridiculous government rules news, Kellogg's has been accused of a "weasly" attempt to get around child obesity sugar rules after re-branding Frosties as an adult cereal to avoid the nanny state telling it how much sugar to use in its products. In the government owns your business news, an Indiana judge has taken an unusual step and temporarily barred Starbucks from closing 77 failing Teavana stores in Simon Property Group malls because the real estate giant was less able to handle the financial pain. HERDING CATS Boy, do I have some news for you about Liberty Forum this year! First of all, I've been asked to moderate two panels of podcasters at Liberty Forum. The first panel will be Jack Spirko from The Survival Podcast, Vin Armani from the Vin Armani show, and Lou Perez from the Unsafe Space podcast.
