Religion vs. Science and Medicine

NEW YORK, NY, USA, September 8, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ --
Are you actively religious, but sometimes displeased with the social positions
that your Church or Synagogue is taking? Would you like some ammunition to convince them to change their attitudes? Are you a non-believer or a Congregation member who never attends services, and would like to hear some unpublicized background on the negative influences of religions in their attempts to thwart helpful advances in science and medicine?

In either case, TO THE RAMPARTS!––Religion vs. Science is the book for you. The author, Marvin Rubinstein , has thoroughly researched the historical battle between the beliefs of religious leaders and those hard-working researchers attempting to improve our living standards and increasing our life spans. The book spans hundreds of years and covers dissection for medical instruction; blood transfusion, vaccination, anesthesia, stem cell research, birth control and even lightning rods and Harry Potter–º–just a small selection among many more.

And the obstruction continues to this day. After generations with very few cases, Measles is making a comeback in Texas, largely because of a popular Preacher using his pulpit to mislead his parishioners about the “dangers” of vaccination.

To the Ramparts! is already garnering rave reviews, with many praising its honest yet unbiased analysis of the factual progression of science, coupled with the religious uproars that many innovations caused. However, Rubinstein isn’t looking for praise. Instead, he makes it clear that the purpose of his book is to educate, inform and inspire. “There is little likelihood that To the Ramparts! will convince fundamentalist Christians or deeply devout practitioners of other faiths to back off their anti-science attitudes, just as Galileo was never able to convince the Catholic hierarchy in the 17th Century that the Earth rotates around the Sun. “However, I do sincerely hope that there are hundreds of thousands of reasonable readers with open minds that only require a little educational nudge,” he concludes.
