Synopsis

ABOUT THE BOOK A Logical God - Exploring a Spiritual and Physical World investigates the development of early religious reasoning that caused a wide variety of unique beliefs to evolve. Most early civilizations were frightened by death and curious and amazed by the apparent power of unknown "spirits" during violent changes in the earth's environment such as storms or geotectonic eruptions. However, the silence and beauty of the night skies with the moon, stars and unpredictable planets created different thoughts of wonder about what produced these natural phenomena. Some chose to invent deities to be the sources of power over everything known and unknown The topics of science and religion are investigated early in A Logical God. As people became more knowledgeable of basic science, they began to explore the sources of the energy that could be responsible for creating life, the world and the heavens. Thus, the theories of creation and physical evolution are compared to evaluate beliefs in religion versus scientific naturalism. This requires evaluating the development and beliefs of the major organized religions. Subsequent chapters discuss the details of specific beliefs of the Judeo-Christian religions. The latter half of the book explores basic topics such as the God of the Jews and Christians, each person's physical and spiritual existence before and after death. A Logical God closes by discussing everyone's responsibility for utilizing their faith to take action toward truly improving life on earth. By strengthening and utilizing spiritual faith, individuals can unite and create positive influences on society and our environment by directing technology to focus more on communities' most basic problems.

Biographie de l'auteur

ABOUT THE AUTHORThe author was raised in St. Louis, Missouri and quickly developed an interest in math and science in public schools. While attending a respected engineering school at the University of Missouri, he requested help from God and received it in an unusual manner. This incident firmly sealed his personal relationship with God and developed a trust in His promises.After achieving a BS degree in Metallurgical Engineering and Nuclear Science, he married and then joined the metals industry workforce. Besides increasing his engineering understanding, he explored other sciences and astronomy. He also felt that he was "pushed" by God to gain more religious knowledge. After continuous study of the Judeo-Christian scriptures, he felt a need to write a book about how he developed his logical faith that was able to coexist with known scientific facts. He believes that his analyses will assist others needing a deeper understanding about spiritual matters. The book includes many links about questions spiritual existence with the fields of the natural sciences, astronomy, and the physical forces affecting everything. During the six years of manipulating words and thoughts and various rewrites, the book title, "A Logical God," emerged to best explain the contents of the book.The author's goal is to assist any person to better understand a logical approach to religious faith while incorporating previous and emerging scientific revelations. Technical questions about physical evidence of a God are explored and he addresses very basic questions about communicating with God and living and dying based on science and God's design for human beings. Understanding both approaches can give the reader more confidence in their very personal beliefs.
