Synopsis

"There is science and there is religion and never the twain shall meet." Is that to be the fate of these two disciplines? Having one foot in the religious world and the other in the scientific can be as precarious as attempting to remain astride two logs in a river. In this sequel to A User's Guide to Our Present World: What Everyone Should Know about Religion and Science, complexions of what religion and science look like today are investigated. It discuses topics from Jesus and family values, evangelists who arrive at your door, discrimination and racism, and the dark side for religion, to delicate balances impacting us and the world, climate change, the pandemic, and how ancient structures like Stonehenge and the pyramids could have been built for science. The study then turns to theological implications of scientific theories, including relativity and quantum. Sure to ruffle the feathers of some from both sides, the examination focuses on how scientific paradigms fail to cohere with traditional theological doctrines and presents the potentially uncomfortable view that scientific revolutions might warrant a corresponding revolution for theology itself.
