religion and science

Gerald Schroeder, an MIT-trained scientist who has worked in both physics and biology, has emerged in recent years as one of the most popular and accessible apostles for the melding of science and religion. He first reconciled science and faith as different perspectives on a single whole in The Science of God. Now, in The Hidden Face of God, Schroeder takes a bold step forward, to show that science, properly understood, provides positive reasons for faith. Recent research in biology, chemistry, physics, and neuroscience contains unmistakable hints about the ultimate nature of reality. Simply put, we now know not only that behind matter lies energy, but also that behind energy lies wisdom. Scientists have touched on this wisdom in the laboratory, and its implications are awesome."--BOOK JACKET.

Explains how God cares for and interacts with his creation while science offers a reliable way to understand the world He made, and includes answers to dozens of the most common questions people ask about Darwin, evolution, the age of the earth, the Bible, the existence of God and the universe.

Explores the current state of evolutionary theory, science, and religion, using the tension between evolutionists and creationists in Kansas in the late 1990s as a focal point.

Applies the principles of scientific thought to theological matters, arguing that the divine principle is at work behind all aspects of existence, both spiritual and physical.

Examines modern science as it relates to Native American oral history and exposes the myth of scientific fact, defending Indian mythology as the more truthful account of the history of the earth.

Critiques Intelligent Design creationism, examining its arguments, analyzing its use of computer science and information theory, and comparing it with biology, arguing that it should not be presented as an alternative to evolutionary biology in the classroom.

The author looks to science to determine whether the human soul exists in death, and travels to various places around the world to discuss supernatural occurrences with spirit guides and mediums.

Dr. Eben Alexander is a neurosurgeon who always felt that near-death experiences were fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress. Then came the day when Dr. Alexander's own brain was attacked by an extremely rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion shut down completely and Dr. Alexander lay in a hospital bed in a deep coma for seven days. Just when his doctors thought about stopping treatment, Dr. Alexander's eyes popped open. His recovery was a miracle but while he lay in a coma he journeyed to a world beyond our own with an angelic being.
