You can hear Mike Keas now on a new episode of ID the Future, with host Andrew McDiarmid . Keas, a historian of science, turns from the past to the future.He speaks about his new book Unbelievable: 7 Myths About the History and Future of Science and Religion.

Despite some notable exceptions, especially C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy, “modern day atheism is becoming more and more indistinguishable from the occult, and science fiction is a part of that,” Keas tells us.

And who are the gods of the new occult – they are space aliens? That atheism has learnt to take the creation story to the skies, believing that we are the sons of aliens.

George Herbert Wells was probably the one who brought Scientism into literature.

Most atheists and readers of sci-fly think that religion is an addition of facts, so they will cope for spirituality, instead. But that spirituality is infused with the occult.
