The Fire in the Equations: Science, Religion, and the Search for God

In The Fire in the Equations, popular science writer Kitty Ferguson brings to life age-old questions in a lively and informative way. She makes complicated physics and biology theories understandable, and describes new ways of seeing how God may interact with the world, as seen in light of these discoveries. She even raises such questions as "how God might answer prayers" from the point of view of physics. In taking the reader through a world of paradoxes and improbabilities, she seeks to establish a dialog between people of faith and people of science. "What we know about science," Ferguson states, "doesn't necessarily make God inevitable, but doesn't rule God out either." Book jacket.
