The Unifying Theory of Everything: Koran & Nature's Testimony [Paperback]

Muhammed Asadi (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 28, 2000

In the past few decades, physicists have uncovered a hidden order in nature; some have called it the Cosmic Code. Based on this order, scientists aim to uncover a grand unifying Theory of Everything (TOE). Once this order is decoded, it is envisioned by some that all fields of knowledge could be linked together based upon it. Using the work of experts in various fields, this book links testable scientific evidence in the Koran with modern discoveries that lead to a normative decoding of that order. The book is unique and has the potential to evoke great interest among scientists and lay people alike because of its non-traditional linking of science and religion. The work leading to the writing of this book, and the book itself can well be described as the "most important discovery" of the modern era. It also presents the Koran as a "falsifiable" scientific theory, which years of scientific inquiry have provided testable evidence for. It is a coherent presentation of the author's life work, a collection of over 15 years of research carried out by him. The author was nominated for the prestigious Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, May 14, 2003

This review is from: The Unifying Theory of Everything: Koran & Nature's Testimony (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling to resolve the issues of science and spirituality. The author's writing style creates a book that is easy to read, captivating, yet very thorough and logical.

Even if you're not a Muslim, this book is well worth reading. Knowledge of the Koran is not needed to understand the author's points.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but in dire need of some editing., February 13, 2008

This review is from: The Unifying Theory of Everything: Koran & Nature's Testimony (Paperback)

Indeed, I experienced some of the same frustrations with this book as another reviewer. There are a lot of grammatical errors in the early pages. I am well into the book now however, and the author appears to clean up his grammar. In other words, there is a striking contrast between the frequency of grammatical errors in early and later chapters. This just stresses the importance of having a professional editor review the pages before submitting for publication. Such a shame for the author's hard work to go to waste like that.

I think it would be prudent for the author to revise this book after grammatical corrections in early chapters have been made. I can see many turning away from this book and some of the great points made within solely based on this. For future readers, what I can suggest is a "tough it out" approach in the initial chapter.

Another small improvement to the book could also be made. Rather than simply refer you to the Koran chapter and verse as this author does so frequently, the book would be more pleasant to read if these verses were integrated within the author's texts. The author follows this suggestion in only a select number of cases. Koranic verses are small enough for this to be a viable improvement. This would allow the reader to cruise through the book without jumping to the Koran for confirmation/reference every few moments.

Aside from that, the author makes some interesting comparisons. This book would be well worth a read. I agree with one of the other reviewers on one point: you don't have to be a Muslim, nor have read the Koran previously to make sense of this book, albeit it would allow the reader to gain a little more perspective.

This review is from: The Unifying Theory of Everything: Koran & Nature's Testimony (Paperback)

I actually only made it through the introduction and a portion of the first chapter, so perhaps it's unfair for me to judge this book. I wanted very much to read it and learn more about the Koran, but I couldn't get beyond all of the grammatical errors. There are comma splices, sentence fragments, and many awkward sentences that made it hard for me to take the author seriously as an authority on the subject.
