General information

This article will be the theme of the January 2011 session of the continuing "Science and Religion" seminar series at the Unitarian-Universalist Meeting House in Chatham, MA. With luck, I might get some contributors recruited. There are those who wonder if Unitarian-Universalists are a science fiction proposition. Howard C. Berkowitz 20:51, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Hayford, your help greatly appreciated

I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface.

There's a question of whether to spin off subarticles on the individual pieces, or perhaps themes. Considering this, "The Star" may have had the most stunning ending of any science fiction story I've ever read. If there was ever an argument for a spoiler warning, this is it. I'm tempted to experiment with a "spoilers" tab, and even then, to give a last-warning link to the last two sentences of the story. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:24, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

You've opened Pandora's box

Have you seen the 'SF Gospel' site: The Ten Best Science Fiction Stories About Religion.

Thank you, Ms. Pandora. Unfortunately, I haven't read some, and don't have bibliographic references for others. Good project, though. What do you think of the headings about themes? Howard C. Berkowitz 05:55, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
