Description

This book offers a fresh perspective on how science and religion are connected, and how prayer aligns with the laws of nature. It explores a holistic worldview where science and religion complement each other, shedding light on life, society, and philosophical and societal concerns. We are born into a world full of mysteries that we only partially understand. We don’t know where we are coming from, we don’t know why we live, and we don’t know where we will go. We don’t know how everything started; we even don’t know what “everything” really is. We are living in an era of rapid change marked by disruptive technologies, like artificial intelligence and computers. Combined with a perception that the old wisdom transferred to us by religion is outdated, traditional values and institutions that had worth and power over many centuries are now losing their appeal. Science has made remarkable progress but can't answer life's most profound questions about our origins, purpose, and destination – why do we live and what should we do?  In this book, the author begins with an overview of science, our understanding of the universe, highlighting gaps in our knowledge, like what started the Big Bang, followed by examples of successful scientific achievements and insights into the limits of science. In the subsequent chapters, the author examines topics such as mind over matter and the coexistence of evolution, creation, natural laws, and miracles. An attempt to answer the theodicy question is also provided in this book, where the author connects new scientific discoveries with ancient religious wisdom. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to innovation and a call for building a better world. This book is a compelling read for scholars, professionals, and curious laymen alike, ready to expand their horizons.
