physicist studies God

This book, a combination of scientific research and Biblical study, offers readers a new standard of how to understand God. Bypassing the age-old debate between science and religion, the author instead examines the world around him and the writings in the Bible in order to discover the true nature of God.

With attention to the characteristics of God as seen in the Bible, this scientific view of creation and the place of our planet in the solar system, the author offers much for readers to contemplate.

Highly recommended. ( )

Schroeder comes about as close as anyone has in explaining my opinion of God and His functioning. Close, but not all the way. It seems no one does, and it seems that if I'm to find a book that is exactly in confluence, I am going to have to be the writer. There's much pseudo-profundity here in the style of Rav Soloveitchik, and Schroeder teases out lessons about G-d's mercy by treating the bible as a linear treatise. Unfortunately, it isn't, whether you're ultra-orthodox or a secular biblical scholar. Also in error is the style-mirroing of the laughably inferior "Permission" books, in which theistic arguments are presented without bringing to fore well-established atheistic responses. Another mistake is discussion of odds, which never impress me. Just because something rarely occurs, but occurs anyway, doesn't mean discussion of its odds has any value. It happened. Deal with it. And Schroeder, discuss the size of the universe first before discussing those odds. You'll see the odds are not as small as you explain. ( )
