Product Description

Review
'Ward is a reliable and entertaining tour guide who explains clearly an extensive arena of ideas in a concise, readable and logical manner. Atheists, agnostics and theists alike will find much in this book on which to chew.' --Chemistry World.

'Eloquently informed by modern science, Keith Ward's thought-provoking account sequentially explores its implications for the god of the philosophers and the God of religion. Ward writes with both wit and profundity.' --Professor Owen Gingerich, Senior Astronomer Emeritus the Harvard-Smithsonian center for Astrophysics.

'…a splendidly thought-provoking book.' --John Brooke, Andreas Idreos Professor of Science & Religion, University of Oxford.

Product Description
Groundbreaking, ingenious and devastatingly clear, Keith Ward's "Pascal's Fire" is guaranteed to reignite the timeless dispute of whether scientific advancement threatens religious belief. Turning the conventional debate on its head, Ward suggests that the existence of God is actually the best starting-point for a number of the most famous scientific positions. From quantum physics to evolution, the suggestion of an 'ultimate mind' adds a new dimension to scientific thought, enhancing rather than detracting from its greatest achievements. Also responding to potential criticisms that his ultimate mind is unrecognizable as the God of Abraham, Ward examines our most fundamental beliefs in a new light. Emerging with a conception of God that is consistent with both science and the world's major faiths, this ambitious project will fascinate believers and sceptics alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully argued work, 5 Dec 2006
By Mr. Richard J. Pask (Weymouth, Dorset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In this excellent book, the author explains in a balanced and carefully reasoned way why science is not only compatible with belief in God, but may well actually strengthen that belief. Calm, intelligent and fair at all times, this book was a breath of fresh air!
