Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a divided world. Politics, nationality, customs, economic status, and more seem to be the stuff of contention and conflict. None more so than the zealots that divide our search for and understanding of the truth regarding our existence. On the one hand, we have the naturalists who believe that the entire universe can be explained by science. On the other hand, there are the religious who believe that everything has already been explained through faith. Many in both camps believe that only their view is correct and the other must be wrong. In support of their belief, each side has their rationalizations that serve only to satisfy their own egos and comfort members who already support their opinions. What if both camps are equally right? What if science and faith are reconcilable? Wouldn't that be interesting? This book is an attempt to illuminate beliefs from both camps that appear, quite coincidentally, to be saying the same thing. It is an effort to illustrate how details of what we learn through physics, chemistry, history, archaeology, and other sciences appear to support the broad explanations of what we believe on faith. It is offered as an explanation of how if we really stop to think about what we believe we know, we may find some common ground between the two extremes of faith and science that can stand the scrutiny of criticism. Furthermore, it is not an attempt to evangelize or convert. It is a collection of topics where both science and faith have a lot to say and, to this author's mind, appear to be in tremendous agreement. Hopefully, the discussions herein will prompt greater interest in evaluating our beliefs and encourage the reader to look deeper into their apparent meaning. In any case, I hope the reader finds the topics as interesting as they are challenging.
Download or read book The Improbability Principle written by David J. Hand and published by Scientific American / Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Improbability Principle, the renowned statistician David J. Hand argues that extraordinarily rare events are anything but. In fact, they're commonplace. Not only that, we should all expect to experience a miracle roughly once every month. But Hand is no believer in superstitions, prophecies, or the paranormal. His definition of "miracle" is thoroughly rational. No mystical or supernatural explanation is necessary to understand why someone is lucky enough to win the lottery twice, or is destined to be hit by lightning three times and still survive. All we need, Hand argues, is a firm grounding in a powerful set of laws: the laws of inevitability, of truly large numbers, of selection, of the probability lever, and of near enough. Together, these constitute Hand's groundbreaking Improbability Principle. And together, they explain why we should not be so surprised to bump into a friend in a foreign country, or to come across the same unfamiliar word four times in one day. Hand wrestles with seemingly less explicable questions as well: what the Bible and Shakespeare have in common, why financial crashes are par for the course, and why lightning does strike the same place (and the same person) twice. Along the way, he teaches us how to use the Improbability Principle in our own lives—including how to cash in at a casino and how to recognize when a medicine is truly effective. An irresistible adventure into the laws behind "chance" moments and a trusty guide for understanding the world and universe we live in, The Improbability Principle will transform how you think about serendipity and luck, whether it's in the world of business and finance or you're merely sitting in your backyard, tossing a ball into the air and wondering where it will land.
Download or read book Strange coincidences in your life Small curious events Forebodings Telepathy Does it happen to you too Quantum physics and the theory of synchronicity explain extrasensory phenomena written by George Anderson and published by Bruno Del Medico. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest developments of thought, mankind believed that some significant coincidences were signs by which a higher philosophical or divine level sought to inter-dialogue with men. In the last three centuries this had been erased from the new directions of science. Extraordinary coincidences were considered as fruits of chance. Anyone who wanted to interpret extraordinary events as divine signals was mocked. In the same way, premonitions were considered illusions or even signs of imbalance. This, despite many had experienced these extraordinary facts. Science denied the existence of a psychic dimension with which the human mind could interact. According to the common opinion, the only existing reality was matter. However, in the 1980s, experiments in quantum physics demonstrated the existence of a universe that is not just composed of matter. This universe holds a level in which energy and information do not suffer the limits of space and time typical of classical physics. This confirms all the intuitions matured in the history of humanity. Among these intuitions the concept of "Soul of the World" enunciated by the Greek philosopher Plato. More recently, the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung has elaborated the theory of the "collective unconscious". This book avoids investigating excessively specialized topics. The author clearly accompanies the reader in understanding the three levels that form a single reality. The first level is the physical one, which is part of our daily experience. The second level is the one described by quantum physics, typical of the smallest elementary particles of atoms. The third is the psychic level called "non-locality". It is the spiritual level, which can not be physically located anywhere. This path of knowledge refers to recent discoveries recognized by official science. The strange coincidences and phenomena of the mind become important parts of a new and surprising reality.

Download or read book Eve written by Wm. Paul Young and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the twenty-five-million-copy bestseller The Shack comes a captivating new novel destined to be one of the most talked-about books of the decade. Eve is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the Creation narrative, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship—yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional beliefs about who we are and how we’re made. Eve opens a refreshing conversation about the equality of men and women within the context of our beginnings, helping us see each other as our Creator does—complete, unique, and not constrained by cultural rules or limitations. When a shipping container washes ashore on an island between our world and the next, John the Collector finds a young woman inside—broken, frozen, and barely alive. With the aid of Healers and Scholars, John oversees her recovery and soon discovers that her genetic code connects her to every known race. No one would guess what her survival will mean… No one but Eve, Mother of the Living, who calls her “daughter” and invites her to witness the truth about her own story—indeed, the truth about us all. As The Shack awakened readers to a personal, non-religious understanding of God, Eve will free us from faulty interpretations that have corrupted human relationships since the Garden of Eden. Thoroughly researched and exquisitely written, Eve is a masterpiece that will inspire readers for generations to come.
