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?”
By Design or by Chance: The Growing
Controversy on the Origins of Life in the Universe is
available at all bookstores from Castle
Quay Books and is distributed by Augsburg Fortress Publishers
in Canada and by Augsburg Fortress in the United States and worldwide.
