Description
"If you think that science has nothing to do with God, and vice versa, read this book—and you just may change your mind." - Professor Peter Sturrock, Dept. Physics, Stanford University
In this engrossing new book, Dr. Bernard Haisch contends that there is a purpose and an underlying intelligence behind the Universe, one that is consistent with modern science, especially the Big Bang and evolution. It is based on recent discoveries that there are numerous coincidences and fine-tunings of the laws of nature that seem extraordinarily unlikely.
A more rational concept of God is called for. As astrophysicist Sir James Jeans wrote, "the Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine."
Despite bestsellers by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris that have denounced the evils of religion and proclaimed that science has shown that there is no God, The Purpose-Guided Universe shows how one can believe in God and science.
"Committed atheists, traditional Christians, or hard-core Muslims will no doubt try to dismiss this book... provocative." - Prof. Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, author, God's Universe
"Neither science nor theology can consider itself informed without taking into account Haisch's views." - Larry Dossey, MD, author, Healing Words
"Merits being read and pondered by everyone seeking deeper meaning underlying science's ever more astounding view of the world." - Dr. Ervin Laszlo, author, Science and the Akashic Field
"An enlightening exploration." - Julia Ann Charpentier, ForeWord Reviews
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Purpose-Guided Universe by Bernard Haisch is praised for its enlightening take on the intricate conditions necessary for life, questioning whether a higher power might be involved. It challenges the divide between science and spirituality, arguing that incorporating a universal force does not negate established scientific theories. Acclaimed for its thought-provoking and logically solid exploration, the book provides a fresh perspective that both sceptics and believers might find compelling.
