Description
"We are living at a turning point in human spirituality - akin to when Jesus or Buddha or Mohammed was alive - and Einstein is its prophet. That is the audacious, provocative, and fascinating argument Corey Powell makes in this extraordinary book. Powell dubs the new faith "sci/religion" and unmasks today's famous battle between science and religion as no more than a myth.". "Religion has always been where humanity looked to resolve the big issues - be they everyday ones about morality or the overarching questions of the universe. Just a few decades ago, Pope Pius XII described the period explained by the scientific theory of the big bang as "the epoch when the cosmos came forth from the Hands of the Creator." Astronomers essentially agreed. This signified a very new relationship between scientists and priests. Indeed, Powell shows how science has completely taken over from theology in answering the overarching questions of the universe. Morality is a secular matter now determined by conversation rather than religious edict. Therefore, Powell contends, sci/religion is the only fully functioning religion now in operation."--BOOK JACKET.
