Review

Bryce Christensen Booklist Schroeder takes the widespread perception that science disproves religion and turns it on its head....This book deserves widespread circulation among readers still alive to the hidden harmonies of the universe.

Learn about God so you can understand.

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

I and many others struggle with science an God. A little knowledge of science can cause you to doubt your faith. If you take the time to understand the facts you realize that science points to God more than ever. This book is well written and gives you many facts about the truth of God and his existence.

A mind-stretching & enlightening book

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2010

Verified Purchase

Somerset Maugham, in "The Summing Up," confessed that a lot of his favorite reading was "metaphysics." I am beginning to understand why: a good philosopher is trying as hard as he can to discover and explain the truth, and he has little equipment, aside from logic, imagination, other thinkers, and his own hard thinking.

I don't know if this book is going to change anyone's thinking about God, but it is (for me) a mind-stretching update into the world of modern science. I mean, do you know that your body has 75 trillion cells, and each one of them is busily manufacturing 2,000 proteins per second?!

The Big Bang apparently began with the entire universe at a size smaller than your thumb, and it certainly grew! How many billions of stars and billions of galaxies came from that tiny beginning? How did that happen?

Similarly (?), the union of one tiny sperm cell with one egg cell will finally produce a fully-grown human being, with the aforementioned 75 trillion cells, each making 2,000 proteins a SECOND. How did that happen?

A further mystery: proteins do not occur in nature, other than proteins manufactured by living cells. You can drain the seas and not find a single protein, unless that protein was made by some sort of life-form and its cells. BUT cells are made of protein, and require protein. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Another thought-provoking fact is the simple atom. We all remember the little diagram of the atom-as-solar-system from high school --- and we've all (probably) been told that it's inaccurate. It's stunning to find out just how inaccurate it is! Enlarge the nucleus to (say) four inches, and where are the electrons? They're four miles away. Four. Miles. Away. 99.9999999 percent of an atom is nothing but empty space? Well, not quite. The "empty space" is some sort of force field we don't quite understand. Theoretically, the "force" comes from zillions of hypothetical invisible protons humming around. And when we get to the "matter," the weirdness does not stop. All the atomic particles have wave-like properties. It would only be a tiny step further to think "There is no matter in the universe!" That's wrong, of course, but it is certainly right to say that matter is NOT what we imagined it would be. It still works, hammering nails into plywood and all that, and your house is not going to fall down, but quantum mechanics is just weird. (Not only that, in The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions , Dr. Berlinski maintains that the math we use for relativity stuff and the math we use for quantum stuff are incompatible with one another.

I recommend this book very highly. You might have to absorb it in small doses (I did).

Proof of God?

If you think that the traditional Darwinian theory of random mutation evolution could have done the job of growing life on earth, read this book. There IS a mind at work out there. It underlies everything. It's name is Wisdom. Dr. Schroeder proves it by showing the scientific evidence in a very pleasant and readable style.

A Great Primer on the Beauty and Complexity of Life.

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

An extraordinary venture undertaken to demonstrate that the beauty and complexity of life can not have come about by chance. Even if you don't believe in God, you should read it, and ponder the mysteries of creation. There is a tremendous amount to think about, and the book is well written, understandable by anyone with an interest (but not necessarily training) in the natural sciences.

A Powerful Book

One of worlds most renowned atheists read this book and decided there was a God. He was in his 80's I believe, and I respect him for keeping an open mind, especially at that age, and changing his mind. I encourage everyone to read it. It's very powerful.

Another Wonderful Tome From An Amazing Physicist & Student Of Torah. There Are Few That Have Parity With This Excellent Author.
Gerald L. Schroeder Is Outstanding.

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2007

Verified Purchase

In a folksy tone Israeli physicist Gerald Schroeder pulls together quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and Bible study to conclude that mind, as exhibited by the ability to make choices, is inherent in every atom of the Universe.

The book shows the place where physics and metaphysics meet and greet (if not merge). In Schroeder's thesis the basic stuff of the Universe is information: "But when we look below the surface, we discover a world made of a mix of identical particles that are actually waves and then realize that the waves are massless expressions of information. Physics has exposed the metaphysical basis of existence." (p. 173)

Schroeder stops short of saying that the Creator and the Created are one thing, but he does seem to support the basic underlying unity of everything in the Universe -- call it God or a force or what-have-you.

One thing that I didn't like was the author's tendency to gush over how wonderfully complex the human body and brain are. To me this is anthropocentric thinking -- he assumes that human beings are smart enough to assess the complexities of reality. I can't help wondering if the perceived complexity is just a reflection of the limitations of our little animal brains.

...a little rain on the parade

Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2009

Verified Purchase

While the author is indeed a highly trained and intelligent scientist who clearly describes a number of the complex physical functions, he lessens his potential impact through his continued references to traditional religious stances. Science is discovering areas that must, at present, be defined as metaphysical and will remain so until (or if) the scientific community can develop a physical definition. Within the areas that science cannot define physically at this time only means that they are happening in another dimension or that our mortal minds cannot comprehend the definition at present or that there truly is divine guidance behind the actions. No one who has thought these issues through can disagree with this conclusion. But, when we equate these newly found metaphysical happenings with early verses in the Genesis, we are truly stretching religion beyond the limits that should exist. Three to five thousand years ago man defined the world around him in terms that he could understand and in a manner that would make sense to him. He primitively thought that the universe was created in seven days, that Adam and Eve were the primary human creations of God and that evil forces were the reasons for bad things happening in the world. When these concepts were written down at a much latter date, it was humans who were did the transcriptions and not, as religionists suggest, the holy hand of God. Schroeder has now taken this even one step further by 'showing' that these early writings actually have a much deeper God inspired meaning that only now we are coming to understand! Please, Mr. Schroeder stick with your writings on the complexity of physical world and how it cannot be explained away through simple evolutionary thought. You do this in an exceptional and forceful manner. Let the religionists continue to cloud over the matter with their interpretations of ancient writings that have little or nothing to do with present day reality. Don't muddy future writings while trying to do both.

Great Book

I think religious, & evolutionists, have a lot to gain by reading this book. If your a Richard Dawkins follower, perhaps you will have the most to gain from the book.

I liked the fact it was not pro anything, Mr, Schroeder is simply seeking the truth, Where did life come from???
