Book Description
"a must-read for students and scientists unfamiliar with recent advances in cellular molecular biology." -Tom Breuer, Ph.D., Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Making the right choice. With almost fifty years working in medical and biochemical sciences, publishing more than 140 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and currently serving as director of 25 reference and research laboratories, Jim Pirkle certainly understands and advances science. He also has faith in God-a belief bolstered by scientific findings. "The more we know from science, the more God is revealed especially as we examine the complexity and interdependencies of creation at the molecular level." Though some believe that faith in Jesus and science can conflict, Dr. Pirkle contends that the opposite is the case-scientific findings consistently reveal God's handiwork. This revelation of God at the molecular level keeps expanding as we see more and more complexity and interdependency in protein function, the roles of nucleic acids, gene interactions, glycobiology, lipidomics, protein interactions (the Interactome) and molecular feedback and control loops. He reviews two important areas of current discussion: Neo-Darwinism and the fine-tuning of the universe for life on Earth. His weight-of-evidence evaluation of Neo-Darwinism includes: life originating from non-life, within-kind adaptation (microevolution), and between-kind adaptation (macroevolution). His review of the fine-tuning of the universe examines multiple extreme requirements for the nature of matter, galaxy clusters, the Milky Way, our solar system, the sun, and the Earth in order for life to exist on Earth. Further, Dr. Pirkle explains how we are the best evidence for God. God explains what our lives will be like if we choose to follow Him or if we do not. Pirkle maintains that we can look at our own lives and find a close match to what God says. Jim Pirkle MD, PhD, received his medical degree with a specialty in clinical pathology and his PhD in physical chemistry from Emory University and has spent 47 post-collegiate years working on hundreds of studies in medical and biochemical sciences. He is currently director of 25 reference and research laboratories addressing disease and harmful exposures in populations. During his career in public health, Pirkle has authored or coauthored more than 140 publications in peer-reviewed, scientific journals focusing on the diagnosis and prevention of disease and harmful exposures in populations. "Anyone struggling with the reasons for human life as portrayed by science and a belief in a Creator God will find this a remarkable volume which builds faith in God and purpose for life." -Donald G. Patterson Jr, PhD Organic Chemistry Arizona State University; PhD Environmental Science "honoris cavsa" Stockholm University

Book Description
Throughout history, arguments for and against the existence of God have been largely confined to philosophy and theology, while science has sat on the sidelines. Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life and greatly clarified our understanding of the world, somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being, which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality. This book contends that, if God exists, some evidence for this existence should be detectable by scientific means, especially considering the central role that God is alleged to play in the operation of the universe and the lives of humans. Treating the traditional God concept, as conventionally presented in the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions, like any other scientific hypothesis, physicist Stenger examines all of the claims made for God's existence. He considers the latest Intelligent Design arguments as evidence of God's influence in biology. He looks at human behavior for evidence of immaterial souls and the possible effects of prayer. He discusses the findings of physics and astronomy in weighing the suggestions that the universe is the work of a creator and that humans are God's special creation. After evaluating all the scientific evidence, Stenger concludes that beyond a reasonable doubt the universe and life appear exactly as we might expect if there were no God. This paperback edition of the New York Times bestselling hardcover edition contains a new foreword by Christopher Hitchens and a postscript by the author in which he responds to reviewers' criticisms of the original edition.

Book Description
The renowned science writer, mathematician, and bestselling author of Fermat's Last Theorem masterfully refutes the overreaching claims the "New Atheists," providing millions of educated believers with a clear, engaging explanation of what science really says, how there's still much space for the Divine in the universe, and why faith in both God and empirical science are not mutually exclusive. A highly publicized coterie of scientists and thinkers, including Richard Dawkins, the late Christopher Hitchens, and Lawrence Krauss, have vehemently contended that breakthroughs in modern science have disproven the existence of God, asserting that we must accept that the creation of the universe came out of nothing, that religion is evil, that evolution fully explains the dazzling complexity of life, and more. In this much-needed book, science journalist Amir Aczel profoundly disagrees and conclusively demonstrates that science has not, as yet, provided any definitive proof refuting the existence of God. Why Science Does Not Disprove God is his brilliant and incisive analyses of the theories and findings of such titans as Albert Einstein, Roger Penrose, Alan Guth, and Charles Darwin, all of whose major breakthroughs leave open the possibility— and even the strong likelihood—of a Creator. Bolstering his argument, Aczel lucidly discourses on arcane aspects of physics to reveal how quantum theory, the anthropic principle, the fine-tuned dance of protons and quarks, the existence of anti-matter and the theory of parallel universes, also fail to disprove God.

Book Description
A New York Times bestseller "An exhilirating exploration of the meaning of it all." --Robert Wright, author of The Evolution of God Drawn from Krista Tippett's Peabody Award-winning public radio program, the conversations in this profoundly illuminating book reach for a place too rarely explored in our ongoing exchange of ideas--the nexus of science and spirituality. In fascinating interviews with such luminaries as Freeman Dyson, Janna Levin, Parker Palmer, and John Polkinghorne, Krista Tippett draws out the connections between the two realms, showing how even those most wedded to hard truths find spiritual enlightenment in the life of experiment and, in turn, raise questions that are richly, theologically evocative. Whether she is speaking with celebrated surgeon and author Sherwin Nuland about the biology of the human spirit or questioning Drawin biographer James Moore about his subject's religious beliefs, Tippett offers a rare look at the way our best minds grapple with the questions for which we all seek answers.

Book Description
A NASA rocket scientist uses quantum physics to find God in science. This is the story of one rocket scientist's quest to know the Creator of the universe, in the face of postmodern thought and atheistic claims. It follows the peaks and valleys of his aerospace career and his spiritual journey, in a novel defense of Christianity. Finding God in Science is written for anyone who struggles with doubts over atheistic claims about truth, God and science.Finding God in Science begins by reconciling the creation accounts of Genesis and science. Biblical and scientific evidence shows that the days of Genesis 1 were long periods of time, rather than 24 hour days. Ancient interpretations of the Genesis order of creation are also shown to match modern science. Finding God clarifies the nature of Adam's race, original sin, and the real extent of Noah's flood, with biblical interpretations that are faithful to the original texts. Finding God in Science continues by exploring the implications of quantum mechanics, which have a deep and unexpected relevance to Christianity. This is the first book to demonstrate that Jesus Christ's earthly message and mission parallel the natural laws of the universe, revealing a Divine premeditation. Finding God in Science shows how Jesus Christ could be both God and man, and what it means to really know God and to communicate with Him. Finding God sheds new light on the mystery of why Christ had to die to save us from our sins, and why we have to die to finally realize eternal life. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the security of our salvation are described using quantum analogies. Quantum mechanics is shown to form the physical basis of human consciousness, and underlie the core tenets of Christianity.As incredible as it may sound, these claims are based on the key features of quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, non locality and quantum entanglement. The gospel is presented in a new language using the fundamental principles of physics. Finding God in Science will challenge your thinking, touch your soul, and deepen your faith.

Book Description
We are told that science and religion are wholly incompatible and that those of us who profess faith in God are unwilling to bend our wills to the truth. In this highly gratifying book, scientist Dr. Gerard Verschuuren flips this assertion around, showing time and time again how it is not the Christians, but rather the scientists, who are unwilling to incline their wills to the truth when it presents itself. Dr. Verschuuren helps us to recognize science's limited scope, how it is restricted to what can be dissected, measured, and counted. It is not the only pathway to knowledge. Science operates within the realm of nature. It cannot, therefore, make aesthetic judgments or moral judgments or draw conclusions about the supernatural, which is, by definition, beyond the realm of nature. Science is likewise ill-equipped to explore ethereal concepts such as beauty an

Book Description
THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO MAKE. The world we live in today offers a wide variety of gods to choose from. These gods range all the way from the god of the moon to the God who created the moon and every imaginable kind of god in between. When it comes down to it, not many people question the existence of some kind of Supreme Being or Higher Authority. Even an atheist prays when the airplane they are on is about to crash. Nature (the heavens and the earth) and even life itself proves that there has to be a Master Designer involved in creation. The question then isn't "Is there a God?" so much as "Which God should I choose?" With so many choices available though, how can we ever be sure we are choosing the right one? This book takes a closer look at some of the more prevalent and popular gods of today to see how they stack up against the qualities that a real God should possess. After all, shouldn't the true God have distinguishable characteristics that would set Him apart from all the other false gods? Shouldn't we be able to know for sure that He is the right God? The author's goal is to help you or someone you are concerned about make an educated decision when faced with the question of Which God Should I Choose? Ben Kniskern has been a teacher and guest speaker since 1995. For nearly two decades he has been helping teens and adults find their way to the right God and build a solid relationship with Him.
