Cosmos, Bios, Theos: Scientists Reflect on Science, God, and the Origins of the Universe, Life, and Homo SapiensHenry Margenau, Roy Abraham Varghese Open Court Publishing, 1992 - 285 páginas "The year's most intriguing book about God was produced not by theologians but by 60 world-class scientists, 24 Nobel Prize-winners among them. Cosmos, Bios, Theos gives their thoughts on the Deity and the origin of the universe and of life on Earth. For instance, the co-editor, Yale physicist Henry Margenau, concludes that there is 'only one convincing answer' for the intricate laws that exist in nature: creation by an omnipotent, omniscient God." --Time "A most important body of informed opinion that will enlighten, inspire, and strengthen those who, in their quest for answers to questions of ultimate origins, or religious or metaphysical explanations, may look to scientists for inspiration in their personal lives as well as for answers to scientific questions." |
