Product Description

Product Description

In a tour of science from cosmology to DNA, popular writer and MIT-trained scientist Gerald L. Schroeder explains how the most cutting edge scientific theories point to a universal wisdom that lies behind matter and energy. In his firts two books, Gerald L. Schroeder illustrated how science and the Bible can be reconciled without violating the letter, or spirit, of either. Now he takes a step back, offering a tour of modern science, from the universe as a whole to the smallest particles of matter, to show that there is an underlying wisdom beneath it all. From the subtle forces of nature that make life possible to the amazing complexity of the human body, a single consciousness shines through. Schroeder seamlessly combines physics, biology, and neuroscience to illuminate the unity of the great plan behind the universe. Drawing on traditional religious topics such as free will, evil, and man's place in the universe, Schroeder shows that scientists have sometimes changed the surface debates on these issues, but have mainly deepended our appreciation and understanding of the ultimate questions, and of God's place in the world.


About the Author

Gerald L. Schroeder earned his Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before moving to laboratories at the Weizmann Institute, the Hebrew University, and the Volcani Research Institute in Israel. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife and their five children.

5.0 out of 5 stars God's hidden face is apparent through his signs, 7 May 2008
By Ammar Khalid - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I will just quote one verse from Koran:

"We will show them Our signs in the horizons, and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is witness over all things?" (41: 53)


This is exactly what the author has figured out that His face is hidden but is surely there and is manifested in His signs.

1.0 out of 5 stars How this book reveals nothing of the sort, 3 Jun 2007
By Another Programmer (Szeged, Hungary) - See all my reviews
First of all, you must know that I could not read the book through. After the first couple of pages I kept making promises to myself that if the next two pages won't improve I will dispose this book - again and again. Eventually I sold it to a second-hand bookshop, being somewhat ashamed of having this book on my shelf.

On every page one can find sentences that are either inaccurate or smudged over or simply do not state anything while making the impression of doing so. Just one instance of the many: the author brings up the example of ATP cycle that happens inside cells of living organisms. This cycle allegedly consumes some ATP in order to produce more - I am not a biochemist, but I guess this is true. Now, Mr Schroeder makes rhetorics like "And guess what does this cycle need in order to produce ATP? That's right: ATP!" without making a specific conclusion or a statement to complete this thought. Did he mean that obviously this cycle cannot maintain itself? Probably not since he also states that the cycle creates more ATP than it consumes, and any layman would laugh at this, since similar phenomena are all around us: you need people to make people, you need investment to make profit, etc. Did he mean that this cycle must have been initiated manually by God? At this point, a layman, of course is at loss, he or she may not have heard about the whole branch "evolutionary biochemistry" which tries to solve problems related exactly to how complex metabolic processes found in modern cells may have evolved.

Which begs the question: is this really the best an MIT trained scientist can do or was this deliberate?

Finally, why should specific aramic phrases in the book of Genesis have any significance? Why should it matter that if you translate a particular word like this instead of that then it sounds very much like something modern science says? Why the Genesis and not the Vedic literature or Alice in Wonderland? Everyone has convictions of their own, me too, and that is exactly why a scientist should make his arguments impartial so that they make equal sense to atheists, arabs or australian aborigins.

If you are interested in popular science books I suggest you spend your money on ones deserving it, like The Blind Watchmaker by Dawkins, or The Constants Of Nature by Barrow - this second one at least explains the anthropic principle in detail and tells about its usual misinterpretations instead of actually misinterpreting it in passing references.
