...analysis of human experience as a basis for understanding nature. Cobb finds this approach particularly helpful to the task of theology because it takes into account both the post-Freudian understanding of man and the discoveries of modern physics. Classical metaphysics, says Cobb, got hung up on its static conception of reality; it assumed that a thing had an underlying, unchangeable substance-a notion rendered meaningless by discoveries of nuclear physics. Whitehead's view, more in harmony with contemporary science, is that the fundamental reality in the universe is the fact of becoming or change. Denying that there...

Moreover, it was only last year that physics, medicine and engineering courses were introduced at Islam...
