Inhaltsangabe

If you review of the impulses that created the universe, directed the unfolding of life, and empowered human consciousness you reach an undeniable conclusion: an omnipotent Creator supervised the creation of our universe.

From the moment of creation to the emergence of a planet tailor-made for life, from the journey of multi-million species to the development of an upright creature hungry for God, science tells a sacred story: a superintelligent Creator used His mathematical genius to convert lifeless equations into galaxies, planets, and people. His love has been visible throughout the process.

Could our journey reflect thousands of random accidents with no divine guidance? Creation delivered impulses that filled the universe with galaxies and stars. Eliminate any one of these aspects and the universe would have been stillborn.

Stars produced a perfect mix of elements to bring the universe to life. Without a robust ensemble of gene and protein sequences, life might still be living at the bottom of the sea.

Hundreds of human genes convert the neurons of a human infant into trillions of networks in an adult brain. Without those God-given genes, a dangerous world may have left us trapped in the treetops with no interest in science at all. But God shared His mind and triggered the journey of science.

Where do we find ourselves after centuries of that scientific journey? We see that science reflets its source. Science is a gift of God’s creative love, and is nothing less than sacred!

A lifelong member of one of the largest Methodist churches in the US, he has delivered periodic lectures on the relationship of science and faith for more than forty years.

As a medical oncologist and person of faith, he has maintained passionate interest in the Near-Death Experience, the creation of the universe, the role of DNA in health and disease, and the nature of consciousness including recent studies employing psilocybin. He has constantly followed the dialogue between science and faith, immensely skeptical that there could be conflict between these two great ways of knowing.
