“The great scourge of our time is not immorality, drugs or greed. Rather, the greatest threat of our age is that so many of us believe in our hearts that life is without meaning or purpose, and thus our actions reflect this. Michael Dowd has methodically demonstrated in this book that a modern, rational, scientific world view does not lead to nihilism. Rather, a full-embracing of a scientifically based understanding of the world is key to a powerful religious faith that offers us meaning, wonder, joy, and most of all, tremendous hope for solving our most pressing global and human problems. The world has been waiting for this book. God bless you, Michael Dowd! ”
