Description: Written as a casual personal-thought narrative, this short nonfiction book was designed to stimulate readers to probe the deep recesses of their own minds, seeking to awaken their awareness of certain aspects of their existence and the world around them that they probably have never seriously considered. Once addressed, the readers' introspection will probably reveal some personal thought queries that have no definitive answers. Absolute answers about abstract topics such as "beauty," "infinity," "the origin of matter," "death and the afterlife" or "God" are hard to come by. They are truly imponderable. But faith does shed light.
Description: Debates about science and religion are polarizing our society. Religionists want their views of the universe taught in our schools as alternatives to the scientific views that have traditionally been taught. Scientists oppose this because they consider those views as mixtures of religion and philosophy. Debates about abortion and stem cell research are rampant. In this book, Allen Leigh, an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and a student of science, looks at the debates between science and religion and sees hope in the idea that truth cannot contradict itself, that truth from science and truth from God must eventually converge into one grand whole, a unified knowledge of the laws that govern our universe.
