Just read a great article by Peter Day in the journal, La Croix International. I believe it would have spoken to the many drop-out cum hippie types of the sixties, who found the spirituality of the eastern religions a terrific turn-on, although, while many would presumably have dropped away, that same spirituality would, and I believe did, ultimately have the effect of turning them back to Christianity, the 'brand leader'.
In his fascinating essay on comparative religion, The Perennial Philosophy, Aldous Huxley was in no doubt that the Catholic church was the true font of the Christian faith, but, as he put it, unlike the saints such as St Peter Claver, he couldn't countenance deferring to its clericalist ethos.
Incidentally, I found that merely reading on the subject of quantum physics via quotes by its pioneers in Wikipedia and Wikiquotes, was sufficient to get quite clear a picture of the paradoxes that seem to proliferate the further the physicists penetrate the nature of matter and our universe. What tickles me to bits is that atheists have been obliged to circumvent the papable truth that paradoxes are repugnant to reason and logic, and hence 'counter-rational', not 'counter-intuitive', yet the same atheist/materialists persist in using this artless artifice, and sawing through the branch they are sitting on, their own thoughts being no more than the meaningless effects of random collisions of atoms. In fact, the paradoxes encountered in physics are used by physicists as staging posts, indeed, spring-boards, to proceed with their investigations using the customary logic they used, when the nature of reality brought them to discover the paradoxes.
Had the corporations not already been so powerful, the discovery of quantum mechanics would have seen them laughed at and ridiculed out of existence in the scientific world, as it transparently should have.
From classical Christianity to quantum Christianity
