      Mnoho lidí se dnes snaží najít kompromis mezi náboženstvím a nejnovějšími vědeckými poznatky. Věda a víra se zabývá zásadními otázkami, které tyto dvě oblasti zdánlivě rozdělují. Autor se věnuje problémům stvoření, evoluce, inteligentního designu, mimozemské inteligence, psychologie, morálky, zázraků a antropického principu a ke každému z nich předkládá jasné a srozumitelné argumenty pro a proti, nahlíží na ně z nejrůznějších úhlů pohledu tak, aby si čtenář mohl sám utvořit úsudek.
