About this book
Some prominent physicists seem to believe that within the foreseeable future, in principles science will be able to provide a comprehensive explanation of the world in which we live. If that is the case, then belief in God in any traditional form will be ruled out. 'As one Nobel prizewinner split personality if you are still to believe in God.' By contrast, in this book Professor van den Beukel demonstrates that for a professional scientist, a thoughtful, non-fundamentalist form of Christian belief need in no way lead to schizophrenia. For there are still questions which can be asked of an over-confident scientist. How far is objectivity in science possible? Is what scientists describe all that there is, or are they concerned with just one aspect of a total reality which is far wider than they suggest? Taking issue with recent scientific writers like Stephen Hawking and Paul Davies, he looks not only at recent developments in science but also at scientists themselves, and the motivations behind scientific research and discovery. The result is a fascinating survey of modern science and an encouraging indication that the possibility of meaningful religious belief is still very much there
