About the book


Some scientists are beginning to question the idea that science should proceed as if God does not exist. However, others believe that the idea of God spells doom for science. Who is right? The book reviews positions of top scientists on all sides of the controversy.
    Denyse O’Leary is a Canadian science journalist and author of the award-winning book Faith@Science: Why Science Needs Faith in the Twenty-First Century. Her writing has appeared in a number of national Canadian and American publications in the past decade.
    O’Leary says, “I will explore with readers why many evolutionists behave as if their discipline is a religion, and, why up to 50% of Americans still believe in creationism. Also, why some scientists think they can clearly demonstrate, in a scientific way, that God created the universe. Or that he did not. Are any of them right? Wrong? Only dreaming? Or are we looking at a shift in the way we see the universe?”
