商品描述

This book offers a fresh perspective on how science and religion are connected, and how prayer aligns with the laws of nature. It explores a holistic worldview where science and religion complement each other, shedding light on life, society, and philosophical and societal concerns.

We are born into a world full of mysteries that we only partially understand. We don't know where we are coming from, we don't know why we live, and we don't know where we will go. We don't know how everything started; we even don't know what "everything" really is. We are living in an era of rapid change marked by disruptive technologies, like artificial intelligence and computers. Combined with a perception that the old wisdom transferred to us by religion is outdated, traditional values and institutions that had worth and power over many centuries are now losing their appeal. Science has made remarkable progress but can't answer life's most profound questions about our origins, purpose, and destination - why do we live and what should we do?

In this book, the author begins with an overview of science, our understanding of the universe, highlighting gaps in our knowledge, like what started the Big Bang, followed by examples of successful scientific achievements and insights into the limits of science. In the subsequent chapters, the author examines topics such as mind over matter and the coexistence of evolution, creation, natural laws, and miracles. An attempt to answer the theodicy question is also provided in this book, where the author connects new scientific discoveries with ancient religious wisdom. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to innovation and a call for building a better world. This book is a compelling read for scholars, professionals, and curious laymen alike, ready to expand their horizons.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了一個全新的視角，探討科學與宗教之間的聯繫，以及祈禱如何與自然法則相一致。它探索了一種整體的世界觀，在這種世界觀中，科學與宗教相輔相成，為生命、社會以及哲學和社會問題提供了啟示。

我們出生在一個充滿神秘的世界中，而我們對這個世界的理解僅僅是部分的。我們不知道我們來自何處，不知道我們為何而活，也不知道我們將去往何方。我們不知道一切是如何開始的；甚至不知道「一切」究竟是什麼。我們生活在一個快速變化的時代，這個時代以顛覆性技術為特徵，例如人工智慧和電腦。再加上對於宗教所傳遞的古老智慧已經過時的認知，曾經在幾個世紀內具有價值和權力的傳統價值觀和機構現在正失去其吸引力。科學取得了顯著的進展，但無法回答關於我們的起源、目的和目的地的最深刻問題——我們為何而活，我們應該做什麼？

在這本書中，作者首先概述了科學和我們對宇宙的理解，突顯了我們知識中的空白，例如是什麼引發了大爆炸，接著舉出成功的科學成就和對科學限制的見解。在隨後的章節中，作者探討了心靈超越物質的主題，以及進化、創造、自然法則和奇蹟的共存。這本書還試圖回答神義論的問題，作者將新的科學發現與古老的宗教智慧相連結。書的最後一章專注於創新，呼籲建立一個更美好的世界。這本書對於學者、專業人士以及好奇的外行人來說，都是一本引人入勝的讀物，準備擴展他們的視野。
