FIRE IN THE EQUATIONS: SCIENCE, RELIGION AND THE SEARCH FOR GOD

Book ID/图书代码： 02350410B43073

English Summary/英文概要： Since the publication of Darwin’s "Origin of Species" in 1859, many have found science and belief in God irreconcilable. The conflict has been heightened by the subsequent dramatic advances in physics, biology and the new fields of chaos and complexity. Some scientists insist that belief in God can sit comfortably alongside scientific knowledge; for others the idea is anathema. But this is not a question confined to scientists, philosophers and intellectuals. From the author of "Stephen Hawking: A Quest for a Theory of Everything", this book examines the impact of scientific discoveries and the question of whether we can ever "find" God - or a scientific formula that will erase once and for all the notion of God.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 自從1859年達爾文發表《物種起源》，許多人開始認為科學與對上帝的信仰一對矛盾體。隨著物理，生物以及其他新興領域的猛烈發展，這種矛盾愈演愈烈。一些科學家堅持認為對上帝的信仰不會阻礙科技的發展，而其他人則無法接受這個觀點。但是這個問題不會把科學家，哲學家以及知識份子局限在某一境地。通過本書，作者論述了科學發現所帶來的影響，探討了我們能否找到上帝的問題。(兼职翻译—徐曼曼）

At least since the Catholic Church forced Galileo to renounce Copernicanism, scientists and religionists have eyed one another with suspicion. But is the conflict between modern science and religious belief inevitable? Must those who accept the theories of Einstein and Heisenberg reject the visions of Isaiah and Paul? Well versed in both physics and theology, Ferguson holds out hope for reconciling rigorous science with sincere faith in God. But which God? The author concedes that it is easier to reconcile a scientific perspective with a distant deity who detonates the big bang and then leaves the universe to follow inflexible laws. But in carefully nuanced reasoning, she shows that modern science does not compel its adherents to reject the miracle-working personal God of Scripture. What comes through most clearly in this analysis is that science will never give believers or atheists unassailable public proofs of their positions. Like Jacob with the angel, each of us must still struggle with some questions alone.---Bryce Christensen, From Booklist
