We live in a culture and a society dominated by science. Not just in the medicines we take or the devices we use, but in the entire scope of our perception, every discovery and breakthrough that came before this moment frames it. Yet at the same time, our world is made up of things that can be sorted into three categories: things science can explain, things science can try to explain, and things science can't explain. In this collection of essays, the modern understanding of human existence is challenged, acknowledging all of the amazing progress humanity as a species has made while at the same time giving credit where it is due to God for his work in all of creation, and the decidedly spiritual parts of existence for which science has no real answer beyond flat denial.
The initial chapter and essay of this book lay the foundation work in an interesting way by not focusing on a specific field or specialization of science but by discussing human consciousness itself, and the ways in which our brains consume, process, and filter information in a way that makes all levels of higher thought possible. From here, biology, physical science, theoretical physics, and more can all be re-examined by acknowledging the spiritual component of the human mind that separates us from all other lifeforms. Not only does the author aim to reevaluate commonly held scientific beliefs, but also offers extensive scripture to show the consequences of living without proper acknowledgment of God's role and guidance. Blending secular science with Christian values, this book takes the complex and breaks it down in a way that is easier for students, laypeople, and academics alike to access and explain.
