Basic science - for an understanding of God's universe - By: , 31 Mar 1999
This appealing, highly readable book does not, as I anticipated, discuss in great detail a religious view of science, nor a scientific view of religion. Instead it presents key aspects of relativity & the quantum & wave theories of light, in a way that makes sense to readers with very little exposure to advanced physics or mathematics. The trick is that it approaches the subject from the perspective of one who understands & cares about the challlenges science often seems to pose for devout Christians. Along the way, it becomes clear that there is neither any real conflict, nor any great interdependence, between the physicist's view of the universe & that of mainstream Christianity. The conversational, sometimes humorous style helps the reader concentrate on an inherently difficult subject. Brother Guy's approach does not give the reader alll the answers, by any means - but it provides an outstanding basis for educated discussion.
