Sceptics and True Believers is the culmination of his search, as he shows that science and religion can mutually reinforce the way we experience the world. Acknowledging that the scientific and the spiritual communities are increasingly split, Raymo builds strong bridges between them. The author illustrates his argument with an array of thought-provoking stories, such as the remarkable migratory flight of a small bird called the Red Knot; the long, glorious glide of the Comet Hyakutake across the night sky; a hilarious alien abduction that didn't happen. Together they are compelling evidence that religion should embrace the reliable knowledge of the world that science provides, while at the same time science should respect and nourish humankind's need for spiritual sustenance - 'Miracles are explainable, it is the explanations that are miraculous.' For anyone drawn to reflect on life's meaning and purpose, Chet Raymo's uncompromising scepticism and reverence for mystery will affirm and inspire. *** Quantity Available: 1.
