Synopsis

Does science say that in reality the mind, will, and creative spirit of human beings is merely a side effect of the movement of electrons in the brain following deterministic laws of nature? No, science cannot say that, because science is made from the conversations between people; science itself cannot speak. Some scientists tell a story of a bleak, meaningless existence where only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair can the souls habitation be safely built. But other scientists tell a new story of nature that is filled with purpose, beauty, and dignity. The New Story of Science compares and contrasts these two stories about nature: the old familiar story of materialism based on Newton's laws of motion and the emerging new story based on the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and modern cosmology."The intellectual excitement of The New Story of Science lies in the knowledge, documentation, the fairness and balance brought to its examination of a possible portentous change in the philosophy of science." -- David Mutch, The Christian Science Monitor.
