Synopsis
This autobiographical odyssey seeks in places of great striving a "rational faith"--one true to both our highest religious ideas and our advancing sciences. As founder of both charitable and technical businesses, the author leads us to places of the greatest despair and the greatest power on earth. There we meet amazing examples of good and evil, interwoven with contemporary scientists' own searches for meaning, explaining faith and love, truth and life, time and order and beauty. The things we hold sacred are real, after all.
For readers unfulfilled by either conventional religions or scientific materialism; parents, teachers, and leaders struggling to reconcile peace with power and beauty with truth."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the Publisher
Sayre writes in a poetic prose but with scientific authenticity. The book is timely and compelling. For those seeking a way to live and believe that is both rational and faithful, "Something There Is" offers a guide in difficult times for us and our children.
From the Author
This is the story of a search for a rational faith. It is really many stories, recorded over many years in places of great strivings - for comfort or meaning,for peace or power, connection or freedom, for understnding, healing, forgiveness, identity, worth, beauty, courage, for a way to live, for love. Some of the stories seem noble and some base; but they are all real, as the places and people are real. I tell the story as participant and observer, but not as a central figure. Its validity, and I hope its interest, derive from those encountered in the places from which I write....Many of us today are unable to accept religious dogma without a rational base. Yet in these encounters over the years I hear a persistent longing and a kind of faith - that is, a commitment and extension and trust - in truth and each other. These encounters lead me to a rational faith, in which the things we hold sacred are real, after all.
