The God Particle: God-Talk in a "Big Bang" World

Synopsis

The Expansion Of Human Knowledge That Springs From The Inquiries Of Science Can Become A Profound Resource For Our Faith Traditions. We Need Not Choose Between Faith And Reason As The Rejection Of Reason Often Leads To A Failure Of Faith. The High Calling Of The Scientific Community Is To Bring The Realities Of Our Universe Into Sharper Focus. Our Faith Traditions Enable Us To Discern Meaning And Understanding In Our Lives That Cannot Be Realized By Examining Facts Alone. Both The Knowledge We Are Gaining From Science Along With The Deep Insights That We Gain From Our Faith Stories Provide Light And Encouragement For Navigating Our Human Journeys. Preface -- I.
