Synopsis
Big questions about science, faith, and the future are explored in these essays by S.
Laing, a thoughtful guide through the big ideas shaping modern thought. The book blends scientific inquiry with philosophical reflection to examine what we know, what we doubt, and where our knowledge might lead humanity.
This collection surveys topics from solar heat and the age of the universe to the long arc of climate, glacial cycles, and human origins. It also tackles how agnosticism and Christianity relate to duty, religion, and practical life, offering a clear, balanced view of complex debates. The writing invites readers to think for themselves about how science and belief shape our world.- Engage with early chapters that trace scientific claims about heat, time, and the cosmos.
- Explore arguments on climate, the ice ages, and humanity’s deep past.
- Consider the tension between science and religion, and what constitutes moral guidance.
- Delve into discussions of agnosticism, belief, and the practical implications for everyday life.
