How to Believe in God and Science - In Three Easy Steps (ePub)

This book is about how I have reconciled my belief in God with the findings of modern science and other issues. I realize that many others have written books about this and I have looked at many of their approaches and solutions. Most of these books base their arguments on repackaged, old ideas. A few introduce new ideas based on concepts from modern physics, e.g., using wave function entanglement to explain the relationship between God and human beings or the Uncertainty Principle to explain how free will works. I have not found any of these books convincing.
I have also looked at the scientific solutions, which are atheistic, and I have not found any of them convincing either. What you will find in this book is very different from what you'll find in any of these books.
The common, underlying problem with all of these approaches is that both sides are trapped inside the Materialist vs. Spiritualist Box. They do not capture the essence of consciousness and/or they limit themselves to the currently known laws of physics. You will see some new ideas in this book that are completely outside the box. This book is self-contained. You do not need to bring knowledge about philosophy, theology, or science. All you need to understand everything in this book is a mind that is open to new ideas and a willingness to think through the issues.
I have written this book because I'm convinced that the simple, three-step process described in the following pages will be helpful to a number of logical, scientifically-minded folks who are seeking new ways to reconcile their belief in God with the findings of modern science and other issues.
However, this book is not for everybody. I believe there are many approaches to believing in God. In this book I will be focusing on HOW I believe, not WHAT I believe.
But first, the WHAT: I was born and raised a Catholic and remain an active Catholic to this day. I believe in the truth of the Judeo-Christian tradition as revealed in the Bible and expressed in traditional Catholic Doctrine. I believe that God created the universe, that God gave us the Ten Commandments, that Christ was both human and divine, died for our sins, and that we can have everlasting life in heaven with God if we love God and love our neighbor as described in the Bible. I have a Masters in physics and believe in evolution and the findings of modern science. However, I do not believe in the atheistic interpretations of evolution and modern science. I am fully aware of the many popular attempts to put belief in God together with evolution and modern science, I do not find any of them convincing.
Next, the HOW: That is what this book is about. We'll cover the three-step process that I have developed to reconcile my belief in God with evolution, science and other issues. My particular solution is only an example of the process. You may not like my solution, but if you like the process, then you may be able to use it to develop your own particular solution. You will find that this process is very different from the arguments you have seen elsewhere.
Remember that HOW people establish their faith is only a vehicle to a goal. Being comfortable with your faith is the goal. Some believers may like to drive a car, others may like to fly, and I may choose to ride a horse through the mountains. The bottom line is that all believers need to arrive at a belief in God that they are comfortable with, regardless of how they get there.
Follow me, the new trail that I've found is this way.
