Publisher's Synopsis
Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, move over. A highly regarded nuclear physicist enters the debate about the existence of God - and he comes down on the side of the angels. Goswami's hypothesis is that quantum physics solves all the hitherto unsolved mysteries of biology - the nature and origin of life, fossil gaps of evolutions, why evolution proceeds from simple to complex and why biological beings have feeling and consciousness. What makes this book particularly important is that Goswami moves beyond theory and shows how a God-based science puts ethics and values where it belongs: at the centre of our lives and societies. Goswami provides a scientific model that steers between scientific materialism and religious fundamentalism; a model that has implications for how we live both individually and collectively.
