The Destiny of the Universe

The author is a geneticist working at the interface between science and religion – here he engages with the major questions of philosophy of science and religion, taking the reader on a journey leading to wider and deeper understanding of the scope and limits of science – beyond the how to the why. In doing so he provides a largely missing philosophical background that many scientists naively ignore by not understanding the nature of their own subject and its corresponding ways of knowing. He gradually widens his enquiry from law and order to divine intelligence and from an impersonal deism to a personal theism – a God recognisable to Christian theology. Not all readers will be comfortable making the whole journey towards the Great Unknown but the author provides good reasons to justify his arguments.
