Beschreibung

Many people today believe that Christianity will not stand up to a scientific or intellectual investigation, and that science has all the answers. Such an attitude shows an ignorance of the wealth of available philosophical arguments and scientific information that Dr Seber taps into in this book. Initially he shows that mathematics and science are limited in what they can prove in spite of modern advances. He then summarises his material using basic questions as eleven chapter headings: What Do Science and Mathematics Prove? Is There a God? Is There a Spiritual Dimension? Do We Have Free Will? Is the Bible Reliable? Who is Jesus? Do Miracles Occur? Why Does God Allow Suffering and Evil? Is Christianity a Blessing or a Curse to Society? What About Evolution? How Do We Get to Know God? The reader may have other questions and a number are considered within each chapter, such as problems with philosophical materialism and atheism. He draws his material from many sources, including statistics, physics, cosmology, genetics, philosophy, history, biochemistry, theology, psychology, archaeology and biology. Comparatively new subjects like epigenetics, chaos theory and quantum mechanics, that many people are not aware of, are brought into the picture. These topics change our thinking about reality.
