For those who maintain a stubborn stance on either evolution or intelligent design, Cedric Michael Guss presents a compelling discussion. His new book, Yahweh of the Cosmos: Ultimate Symmetry in the Universe, takes readers on a journey through space and time to illustrate the surprising ways in which science and religion support each other.
As a scientist, Guss exhibits a thorough grasp of ideas and theories that surround this puzzling topic, from past to present, and he addresses the problems many analytical observations have contributed to humans' ability to understand. Throughout the book, he delves into the work of noted scientists, such as Galileo, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking; religious leaders, such as Moses, Paul, Mohammed, Jesus and Pope John Paul II; and great philosophers, such as Giordano Bruno, Valentinus, Ptolemy and Plato. By examining the teachings of these historic figures, Guss effectively demonstrates the relationship that exists between seemingly contrasting beliefs. Present-day research in archeology, cosmology, biology and physics are also referenced where they are helpful in drawing postulates and conclusions about God and the universe from what is unknown to this day.
"Someday when church and science pull off the gloves, their followers may find they are speaking a common language more than they had ever wished or imagined," Guss writes. "Then Albert Einstein will have also been prophetic when he said, Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.'" |
