5.0 out of 5 stars God Is The Question And The Answer, August 31, 2009
This review is from: God For The 21St Century (Paperback)
I am surprised that there are not any previous reviews of this book. I would think that this subject would be of utmost interest to a very great share of human beings.
For there is no way we can come to an ultimate understanding of ourselves unless we come to some understanding of God.
Questioning ourselves about God is thus questioning ourselves about our own ultimate meaning and destiny. Among the topics covered are:
Creation and evolution
Life on other planets
Genetic engineering
Faith and medicine
The mind and the soul
Quantum physics

Among the contributors are Paul Davies, Robert Jastrow, Rod Davies, Owen Gingerich, Cyril Domb, Kitty Ferguson, Gregg Easterbrook, Sir John Haughton. The editor Ronald Stannard contributes an essay on the paradoxes of Science and Religion.
Some of the essays are challenging philosophically and a bit difficult to understand. But on the whole the work is clear and readable and provides a rich variety of insights on a broad range of cosmically interesting subjects. A number of them integrate the Science and Religion and may seem a kind of apologetics.
One of the most impressive set of essays points to the idea that conceiving the Universe without a Creator is perhaps even more impossible than conceiving the Universe as having a Creator.
I believe any person who is obsessed about ultimate questions will profit by reading this book.
