Science and Wonders. Conversations about Science and Belief. The Book of the BBC Radio 4 Series.

London England: Faber & Faber, 1996. Paperback. Underlining in pencil to some pages. Faced with the immensity of space, do astronomers regard us humans as insignificanet specisk in the vast cosmos? Do eveolutionary biologists consider themselves to be mere animals? Do neuroscientists anticipate that one day the dissection of the brain will explain away our minds? Do experts on Artifical Intelligence see themselves as nothing but a form of robot? In this book the author askes the ultimate questions of a host of leading scientists and theologians in Britain and America. He talks to the Archbishop of York in his palace, to the psychiatrist Montague Barker on Freud's couch in Hampstead, to the biologists Steven Rose in his lab. Science seems always, relentlessly to be advancing; more and more phenomena succumb to its explanations. Might it not one day be able to explain everything? Did the Big Bang mark the creation of the Univers and, if so, does it imply or rule out a Creator? And how might human beings continue to evolve? 208 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). . 1st Paperback Edition.
