About this book

Theworld is not a machine. Humanity is not a mistake. For centuries, a grim anti-human outlook has taken holdofthepublic imagination, teaching us all to view ourselves as random productsofa cruel and uncaring natural world. Today, from apocalyptic environmentalism to twisted eugenics and dystopian bionic augmentation, movements are rising aroundtheworld to dispense with humanity or subordinate it to a pitiless mechanical logic. For many, it has come to seem as ifthehuman spirit is obsolete, religious faith is illusory, and mankind is destined to be extinguished or surpassed. Some might even seetheendofhumanity as a good thing. But that is not our future. LightoftheMind, LightoftheWorld tells a daring new story about how we got here, and how we can chart a better path forward. Surveyingthehistoryofscience and faith fromtheastronomersofBabylon tothequantum physicistsofpostwar Europe and America, classicist and scholar Spencer A. Klavan argues that science itself is leading us not away from God but back to him, and totheancient faith that placesthehuman soul atthecenteroftheuniverse. Reconcilingthediscoveriesofscience withthetruthsoftheBible, Klavan shows howthesearch for knowledgeofthe natural world can help illuminatethegloriesofits Creator, and howthelatest developments in physics can help shatterthe illusionofmaterialism.
