Comments on science and religion books by R.A. Varghese
“Varghese explores the basic and critical questions we face concerning this remarkable and wonderful universe. Why are we here? Where are we going? 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.”
“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.”
“Congratulations on a fascinating book! I found The Wonder of the World to be a highly illuminating and thought-provoking discussion of all the important issues on the borderline between science and religion.”
“You have in your book [The Wonder of the World] deployed abundant evidence indicating that it is likely to be a very long time before such naturalistic [atheistic] explanations [for the origin of life and reproduction] are developed, if indeed there ever could be. . . I was hugely impressed and substantially challenged by it.”
“Varghese skillfully leads us through a scientific and philosophical description of our magnificent universe. Experiencing the wonder of our world is the surest path to realizing that a purely materialist answer to that question is both scientifically and philosophically inadequate.”
