In the book, God Does Not Play Dice, the author has questioned the relevance of popular scientific theories about existence of God and if there is a science behind all His actions.
It is a searching book that answers questions like, ‘does God play dice with the universe?’, ‘do events happen by chance?’, ‘do we have free will?’, ‘was Einstein right in his assessment of quantum theory?’ and more such issues.
This book helps you go beyond the uncertainty and confusion that some scientists claim cannot be overcome. Read absorbing chapters on:
* Beginning the Journey
* A Certain World Beyond Science
* The Solution to the Free Will Problem
* Cracking Nature’s Code of Law and Order
* Quantum Leaps of Faith
* Sagan’s Baloney Detection Kit Applied
* Why Darwinism is Defunct
The authors’ lucidity and logic is breathtaking. He is not afraid to defend the mind of God, either. Shiang has made discoveries regarding the nature of the universe and the assumptions the scientists of our era are making regarding chaos, randomness, and God. His scientific arguments and the ways he argues them are original in scientific thought.
This volume is a courageous effort going against the grain of popular scientists who now ride the wave of the trendy new atheism and a universe of randomness. It’s quite common and lucrative now to write and lecture about how God is nonexistent. And of course there is always the criticism about God’s alleged poor craftsmanship in the universe. As if God had only him/herself to blame for all that ails our planet!
In opposition to the trendy belief in atheism and chaos, Shiang uncovers the ignorance shared among today’s most scientists. After disproving ideas that proponents of natural selection take for granted – namely, that there have been empirical experiments that have proven the existence of randomness – he cites recent quotes of some of our premier scientific minds showing they irrationally believe in that powerful illusion. They have to believe it; otherwise, they would all have quite little to talk about.
Moreover, Shiang shows they cling to a universe full of randomness out of a need to be in control. It’s a bit frightening to watch Shiang’s mind explicitly illuminate how the brights we have been listening to deserve even less credibility than the God they say is a delusion.
For this reason, Shiang is sure to be vilified and this book is sure to be attacked for decades. This book is that powerful. Shiang’s work represents a paradigm shift in science not dissimilar to such epoch-changing concepts as the Theory of Relativity or the discovery that the earth is not flat.
Warning: This book may appear dangerous to some atheists and believers in randomness!
