Science & Faith

“Religious and skeptical, Nathanael was summoned from beneath his fig tree to meet the Word become flesh, who promised him, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man” (John 1:[43–]51).

Doubt or dispute his conclusions if you must but ignore them at your peril. Open this book and open the future—and maybe a few minds too. Can anything good come from a deep conversation between science and serious religion? Come and see!”
