Science and Biblical wisdom have been converging. Did you notice? This book challenges the presumption that science is erasing Biblical “claims.” In fact, Schroeder reconciled the 6 days of creation using Einstein and relativity. He shows how Darwinian macro evolution is fatally flawed in science and math. He weaves a case for convergence of knowledge in science and the Bible that strengthens faith. This is a must read book for all thoughtful believers and fair-minded skeptics.
The first half of the book is extremely useful bringing physics and statistics into alignment with the Bible. The science is "high" enough to make the case without being impossible to follow. It is fresh and very useful. However, the second half of the book begins to veer into scientific and theological stretching which gets less and less plausible. His argument that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is the basis for human free will is a bit much. In dealing with the origins of good and evil, he asserts "sin is not something with which we are endowed ..." which negates the solidly established theology of Original Sin from Adam and Eve.
His recitation of the anthropic design of the universe is really good. For anyone who has not considered how fine tuned the universe is for life, particularly life on earth, it will be breathtaking. His explanation of "why the dinosaurs" is characteristically unique. It might not settle the questions, but it does offer some clues.
In all, the book is informative and insightful. He leans heavily on science and the kabala theological writings. I found the latter to be most interesting because I've never encountered it previously. Get the book. Decide for yourself, if just for the first half of the book.

There is a lot packed into it. You may feel the need to go back and check up on his sources, re-read and research, because his assertions have the impression of fairly haphazard, tentative guesswork.
I'm not sure his interpretations of certain biblical verses are accurate, it would require the original Hebrew and much awareness of context to claim that e.g. biblical time started at the creation of human souls. Does Genesis 1:27 actually say this? I don't think its clear.
And so on.
He has some interesting ideas and writes about complicated scientific matters in an accessible and very easy-going style.
His premise seems to be that a) Current scientific thought is correct therefore b) The bible must be re-interpreted to fit popular theory.
But why would people of faith (of which I am one) limit God to limited human perception in the first instance? Surely the almighty could have made creation within 6 earth days if he so desired. I don't see the need to invent naturalistic explanations for certain events that we are told are supernatural, that are in any case accepted only by faith.

Thought-provoking

I enjoyed this trot through various scientific disciplines and attempt to conflate the roots of todays polarized arguments into one.By Ferro on April 11, 2012
