Christian Scientist (From Wikipedia)

The Church of Christ, Scientist, often known as the Christian Science church, is a denomination that arose in New England in the late nineteenth century. It has about 2,000 branches (local churches) in over 70 countries, with The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts being the denomination's headquarters.

The church was founded by the American Mary Baker Eddy in 1879 following a personal healing in 1866, which she claimed resulted from reading the Bible.[1] She called this experience "the falling apple" that led to her discovery of Christian Science. She was convinced that "the divine Spirit had wrought the miracle — a miracle which later I found to be in perfect scientific accord with divine law." (Ret 24) She then spent the next three years investigating the law of God according to the Bible, especially in the words and works of Jesus. The Bible and Eddy's textbook on Christian healing, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, are together the church's key doctrinal sources and have been ordained as the church's "dual impersonal pastor."

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, is widely known for its publications, especially the Christian Science Monitor, a daily newspaper published internationally in print and on the Internet. Some consider the Church to be controversial due to its emphasis on healing through prayer when others would likely choose modern medicine. There have also been periodic tensions with other Christian denominations who reject the idea that Christian Science is a Christian denomination because of what some consider to be unorthodox tenets. (An example of these tenets is: "We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death."[2] (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures p. 497)

Christian Science is sometimes confused with Scientology, an unrelated organization founded about 75 years after Christian Science. It is also sometimes confused with Religious Science, a recent denomination in line with the New Thought tradition.

Christian Science's most common symbol is the Cross and Crown.

Answer 3

I'm a christian. You don't have to be a christian to be a true scientist but a true scientist can explain the orgin of life with God in the picture.

Answer 4

I studied CS for about 6 months when I lived in St Louis - read Eddy's book "Science & Health" and the daily readings ..... then I gave it up because it just didn't 'fit.'

What I saw later was its Aryan heresy: that the material world was corrupt and 'error' so we could 'think and believe' our way out of its corruption. I don't agree with that part of it.

In the end, as a physicist at the time, I decided it was neither Christian nor science.

Sorry, that's where I am.
