FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ --
The world's most famous atheist is among the distinguished group
of Nobel Prize-winning scientists and religious leaders who are
praising the latest work of Roy Abraham Varghese. Professor Antony
Flew has for over 50 years led the world in atheist thought and
debate. Why then is he now praising a book harmonizing science
and God?
Varghese presents a dialogue between a Hindu theist
(Guru) and a Jewish atheist (Geek) on the origin of things: the
universe and its laws, life, consciousness and mind, vision, reproduction
and language. Key to the framework of modern science, these questions
are tricky and inevitably controversial. "Wonder" has
been strongly commended by a most extraordinary variety of thinkers:
the Nobel Prize-winners who made two of the greatest discoveries
of the twentieth century, the best-known atheist in the English-speaking
world, leaders in the dialogue between science and religion and
prominent Jewish, theistic Hindu and Christian thinkers. This
is quite remarkable in light of "Wonder"'s central claim:
of all the great discoveries of modern science, the greatest is
God.
One Nobel Prize-winning scientist, Charles Townes,
writes:
"This is no doctrinaire treatise, but a sensitive,
profound and clear discussion of the important issues of our universe
and our existence, including questions, answers, and uncertainties.
It is written with a deep understanding of philosophy, spirituality,
and the complex science involved, yet expressed in a way which
is interesting and very understandable to the non-specialist."
Arno Penzias who won the Nobel Prize for his discoveries
confirming the Big Bang theory says:
"Though I found myself arguing with both protagonists,
the issues raised and Guru's lucid outline of modern science's
framework of understanding helped me to challenge and refine my
own answers to the ultimate questions that each one of us must
ask."
Professor Flew is the most intriguing commentator
on the book. The outspoken British atheist set the agenda for
the critique of religion in the Fifties through his "Theology
and Falsification." Flew has debated a wide range of theists
starting with C.S. Lewis at Oxford. In commenting on "Wonder,"
Flew notes that the God of natural theology cannot be identified
with the God of a revelation but sees the origin of life as a
key problem for atheism, one which is not sufficiently acknowledged
by fellow atheists. Flew later comments, "I intend to reread
'The Wonder of the World' at leisure. I was hugely impressed and
substantially challenged by it."
Roy Abraham Varghese previously won a Templeton
Book Prize for Outstanding Books in Science and Natural Theology.
"The Wonder of the World" is his most expansive work.
