In Defense of God Renowned scientist Gerald L. Schroeder combines decades of scientific research and biblical study to present a groundbreaking new paradigm of how to understand God.
Gerald L. Schroeder is a scientist and author who explores the inherent relationship between science and spirituality. His work frequently draws upon Talmudic and biblical commentaries, seeking to reconcile them with scientific understanding. Schroeder investigates how a biblical view of creation can be harmonized with the scientific model of a billions-of-years-old universe by examining the concept of varying time perception based on the observer and Einstein's theory of relativity. He espouses a view of theistic evolution, with his writings often referencing Jewish philosophy and medieval commentaries.
In Defense of God Renowned scientist Gerald L. Schroeder combines decades of scientific research and biblical study to present a groundbreaking new paradigm of how to understand God.
A ground-breaking book that takes on skeptics from both sides of the cosmological debate, arguing that science and the Bible are not at odds concerning the origin of the universe. The culmination of a physicist's thirty-five-year journey from MIT to Jerusalem, Genesis and the Big Bang presents a compelling argument that the events of the billions of years that cosmologists say followed the Big Bang and those of the first six days described in Genesis are, in fact, one and the same—identical realities described in vastly different terms. In engaging, accessible language, Dr. Schroeder reconciles the observable facts of science with the very essence of Western religion: the biblical account of Creation. Carefully reviewing and interpreting accepted scientific principles, analogous passages of Scripture, and biblical scholarship, Dr. Schroeder arrives at a conclusion so lucid that one wonders why it has taken this long in coming. The result for the reader—whether believer or skeptic, Jewish or Christian—is a totally fresh understanding of the key events in the life of the universe.
Many of us would like to reconcile our faith in science with our belief that the Bible is Truth...
Lange Zeit wurde in christlichen Kulturkreisen die Frage nach der Entstehung des Universums mit der biblischen Schöpfungsgeschichte beantwortet. Dieses Weltbild geriet ins Wanken, als die Entdeckungen der Naturwissenschaft bewiesen, daß die Erde und das Leben darauf vor vielen Milliarden Jahren entstand. Der Physiker und Theologe Gerald L. Schroeder versucht nun nachzuweisen, daß die Bibel dennoch eine Quelle kosmologischer Erkenntnisse ist. Er vergleicht systematisch die Aussagen der Schöpfungsgeschichte mit denen der Urknalltheorie und weist erstaunliche Übereinstimmungen nach.
