Description
This book comes from two authors with scientific backgrounds. It recognizes the huge advances made through science and their beneficial impact on society. However, it also expresses concern that the essentially tentative nature of scientific conclusions is being replaced by a growing tendency to accord to science the last word on a range of subjects. While the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic of 2020 has shown some of the uncertainties associated with scientific research, this book demonstrates that these become more apparent in such fundamental areas as the origin of both life and the universe, as well as the abiding mystery of mind and consciousness. The authors argue persuasively that we should recognize the limitations of science as well as its unquestionable strength. Follow the Science succinctly guides readers to the heart of the debate between naturalism and theism. The book recounts some of the divergent interpretations of the scientific evidence relating to the Covid19 pandemic. This alerts readers to the conflicting conclusions that may be drawn from the same scientific data. How to distinguish sound conclusions from hollow ones is expertly pointed out. In clear and lucid prose, the book presents the key findings from astronomy and biology relating to the origin of the world and its living inhabitants. It persuasively argues that these point unmistakably to design.
