It is a rewarding read that asks the Big Questions which humans have pondered since the dawn of the modern human mind, including: Why and how does the universe exist? From where do the laws of physics come? How did life and mind arise from inanimate matter on Earth? Science and religion have a common interest in the answers to such questions, yet many scientists and believers have been at odds for centuries. The author and contributors present a program for moving beyond the vastly different perspectives of reality offered by science and religion. Historical proofs for the existence of God are considered in light of the possibility that the universe may be only one in an eternal multiverse that contains an infinite number of other universes. Readers will find a modification of St. Augustine?s Argument from Truth for the existence of the necessary, self-sufficient being commonly referred to as God. This book is suited to all with an interest in the crossing points of science and religion, providing much food for thought and reflection. If in the end, you cannot accede to philosophy?s proofs, or theism?s invitation to faith, perhaps you will nevertheless say ?yes? to the amazing universe in which we live. 606 $aReligion?Philosophy 606 $aPsychology and religion 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E33000 606 $aReligion and Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y46000 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 615 0$aReligion?Philosophy. 615 0$aPsychology and religion. 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Religion. 615 24$aReligion and Psychology. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 676 $a215 676 $a261.55 700 $aDi Rocco$b Richard J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0932906 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910303432303321 996 $aConsilience, Truth and the Mind of God$92099744 997 $aUNINA
