Summary:

Ambitious, controversial and utterly absorbing, "God and the Universe" combines incisive interpretations of the latest scientific theories of the origins of the universe with an unparalleled understanding of their religious and philosophical implications. In tackling head-on the highly-charged issue of God's relevance to contemporary cosmology in such breadth of perspective is amazing: from virtual reality to the meaning of life; from Aristotle to Stephen Hawking. Persuasively argued, elegantly written and attractively illustrated, this book constitutes a major development in how we perceive the relationship between science and religion. Highly provocative and original, "God and the Universe" is set to re-invigorate and expand debate about our origins and meaning for many years to come.
