"Raised in a militant atheist family, Sy Garte fell in love with the factual world of science. He became a respected research biochemist and had no intention of seeking a God he didn't believe in. That is, until the very science he loved led him to question the validity of atheism. His journey to find answers drew him into a fully committed faith, determined to show others the truth: modern science doesn't contradict God at all, but instead supports Christianity. Lessons from physics, biology, and human nature that argue for belief in God are all presented for anyone to easily understand. Sy also tackles contentions against God often presented in academic and scientific settings and explains the false foundations on which they rest. If you've been told the realities of science call for a rejection of God, but you can't quite get rid of the feeling that this shouldn't be true, The Works of His Hands shares the beauty of the marriage between science and faith; and how, together, they can bring even the most likely to salvation."--Publisher's Description Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The prose is personal enough to make this book read like a conversation with the author. The information is well-organized and detailed enough to appeal to scientists and non-scientists alike (with the most complex explanations left to the appendices). And the chapters include very reasonable, well-reasoned responses to many familiar anti-faith arguments (no, faith isn’t the root of all evil, or even of all wars). The book presents an honestly argued faith in a God who works through logical laws, not magical whims.
Harmonious prose leads readers to a pleasing harmony of faith and science. Whimsical anecdotes delight and amuse (even introducing the possibility of a whimsical God, delighting in his creation). Meanwhile serious questions invite us to look at the author’s very serious answers, and to see the works of God's Hands.
The Works of His Hands isn’t “light reading” but nor is it heavy. It’s well-balanced, inviting, and appealing. It’s neither too deeply nor too shallowly scientific. As an honest report of personal investigation, it invites honesty in its readers. And as a faith-filled testimony of change, it invites us to recognize that faith and science’s supposed enmity is a myth we should be happy to dispense with.
Disclosure: I’ve met the author online and followed his blog. I could hardly wait to read his book. Then I waited forever to write a review because… well, life intervened. It’s a wonderful book and I'm recommending it to everyone! ( )
