Download or read book Why the Universe Is the Way It Is written by Hugh Ross and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly astronomers recognize that if the cosmos had not unfolded exactly as it did, humanity would not, could not, exist. Yet these researchers--along with countless ordinary folks--resist belief in the biblical Creator. Why? They say a loving God would have made a better home for us, one without trouble and tragedy. In Why the Universe Is the Way It Is, Hugh Ross draws from his depth of study in both science and Scripture to explain how the universe's design fulfills several distinct purposes. He also reveals God's surpassing love and ultimate purposes for each individual. Why the Universe Is the Way It Is will interest anyone who wonders where and how the universe came to be, what or who is responsible for it, why we are here, or how and when the universe ends. Far from leaving the reader at this philosophical jumping-off point, Ross builds toward answering the big question of human destiny and the specific question of each reader's personal destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning if you believe. It is said that a Divine Energy declared the very existence of the universe in a strong definite divine affirmation, a thought. Within these words lies one of the many great secretes and the power of the universe, although no one can profess to know what this Divine Energy knows, one can say that there was a definite desire or definite purpose to create the earth and everything in it to include man and woman. From within this Divine Energy, would you believe that within each and every one of us lies very same divine energy that we can use to believe in ourselves, create the life that we have always wanted, and become closer to understanding what your true purpose in life is? This wonderful gift of is the Power of Belief. As you have guessed "The Power of Belief", is not a murder mystery or science fiction book, instead this book is about the awesome Power of Belief. This book is not meant to entertain. It was written to help the reader investigate themselves and shed light on their divine power. It will serve you greatly to remove all the stigmatism and dogmas of religion that have stopped you from believing in yourself, and your desire in life. The reader will be challenged to keep an open mind because you will exercise your creative faculty and your Mind's Eye to develop belief in self, belief in your thoughts and belief in what it is you most desire in life. This can also be called your "hearts desire" or "definite purpose in life". The Power of Belief will provide you with a sound philosophy to help you see and realize your divine plan in life by using your mind to visualize your thoughts through what we will call your "Mind's Eye". If one is mature enough and ready for a genuine change in life, then this philosophy will help you create your own formula for success through the Power of Belief. We know that daily existence is full of trials, letdowns, and setbacks. The Power of Belief was written for the purpose of addressing all the issues that you face when failure or tragedy has broken your concentration and belief. It is for this very purpose that the author has injected his own personal experiences to help plant the seeds of belief even further. This divine power can help you love and enjoy life again. You can become successful at everything your heart desires. By learning to use and understand this divine power persistently one can remove themselves from the great ocean of doubt, shame, or poverty. One must also understand that there are greater objectives and estates one can strive for other than money, fame or material wealth, a fact I strongly agree with. The Power of Belief is so powerful, it can be injected into another human being. It can also penetrate jail walls, steel, and concrete. Perhaps the greatest example of the Power of Belief is that of my own personal expierience. At the time this book was conceived, I had nothing left to turn to, all my bridges where burnt and I was facing potential prison time from living a destructive negative life. It was not until a powerful intangible "thought" materialized in my mind. The thought was so powerful, it woke me up out of a dead sleep. I was not sure if I was dreaming or hearing things. What I do know is that from this single "intangible thought" my entire life was changed, and the "Power of Belief" and the power behind this "Divine Energy" is real. This philosophy will work for everyone who is genuinely ready to make changes in their life. Nothing will be held back from the reader, on the contrary one will find that the secret is not a secret, and this philosophy has already helped millions in all walks of life. Believe that you deserve the same!

Download or read book The Believing Brain written by Michael Shermer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Believing Brain is bestselling author Michael Shermer's comprehensive and provocative theory on how beliefs are born, formed, reinforced, challenged, changed, and extinguished. In this work synthesizing thirty years of research, psychologist, historian of science, and the world's best-known skeptic Michael Shermer upends the traditional thinking about how humans form beliefs about the world. Simply put, beliefs come first and explanations for beliefs follow. The brain, Shermer argues, is a belief engine. From sensory data flowing in through the senses, the brain naturally begins to look for and find patterns, and then infuses those patterns with meaning. Our brains connect the dots of our world into meaningful patterns that explain why things happen, and these patterns become beliefs. Once beliefs are formed the brain begins to look for and find confirmatory evidence in support of those beliefs, which accelerates the process of reinforcing them, and round and round the process goes in a positive-feedback loop of belief confirmation. Shermer outlines the numerous cognitive tools our brains engage to reinforce our beliefs as truths. Interlaced with his theory of belief, Shermer provides countless real-world examples of how this process operates, from politics, economics, and religion to conspiracy theories, the supernatural, and the paranormal. Ultimately, he demonstrates why science is the best tool ever devised to determine whether or not a belief matches reality.

Download or read book Unleashing Thought Power and the Power of Believing written by Hector Amezquita and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are always thinking. Still, very few of us have accurate information about the origin of thoughts, their power and effects, and the fact that, incredible as it may sound, we can use our thinking to manifest in our lives anything we might want. Thought is the origin of a country, its constitution, legislation, economic systems and political ideologies. It is the invention of tools, machinery and equipment, the arts, science, astronomy, philosophy, and everything around you. You cannot pronounce a word or move a part of your body if you don't think of it first, to the point that every event in your life is a consequence of your conscious or unconscious thinking, but always the outcome of thought. Nobody can negate that people are happy or unhappy because of what they think, not because of what actually happens. Similarly, people fail, or succeed, because of what they think, not because of what actually happens around them. Thought is power, but unfortunately very few have had the chance to discover this great power within, and fewer still are actually using it. Thoughts can also become beliefs, which if not properly understood can jeopardize anybody's life and endeavours. They are a power too, that can be good or risky depending on the type of beliefs that the individual may have adopted during his lifetime. However, there is always available a way out from false beliefs and real ease in adopting new and right ones. This book is intended to share practical ways of using thought-power for all those individuals who are genuinely interested in overcoming limitations and the lack of success in their lives, offering, in the author's opinion, the best tool ever.

Download or read book The Purpose Guided Universe written by Bernard Haisch and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you think that science has nothing to do with God, and vice versa, read this book—and you just may change your mind.” —Professor Peter Sturrock, Dept. Physics, Stanford University In this engrossing new book, Dr. Bernard Haisch contends that there is a purpose and an underlying intelligence behind the Universe, one that is consistent with modern science, especially the Big Bang and evolution. It is based on recent discoveries that there are numerous coincidences and fine-tunings of the laws of nature that seem extraordinarily unlikely. A more rational concept of God is called for. As astrophysicist Sir James Jeans wrote, “the Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine.” Despite bestsellers by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris that have denounced the evils of religion and proclaimed that science has shown that there is no God, The Purpose-Guided Universe shows how one can believe in God and science. “Committed atheists, traditional Christians, or hard-core Muslims will no doubt try to dismiss this book . . . provocative.” —Prof. Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, author, God’s Universe “Neither science nor theology can consider itself informed without taking into account Haisch’s views.” —Larry Dossey, MD, author, Healing Words “Merits being read and pondered by everyone seeks deeper meaning underlying science’s ever more astounding view of the world.” —Dr. Ervin Laszlo, author, Science and the Akashic Field “An enlightening exploration.” —Julia Ann Charpentier, ForeWord Reviews

Download or read book The Universe in a Single Atom written by Dalai Lama and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2006-09-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Niels Bohr, Einstein. Their insights shook our perception of who we are and where we stand in the world, and in their wake have left an uneasy coexistence: science vs. religion, faith vs. empirical inquiry. Which is the keeper of truth? Which is the true path to understanding reality? After forty years of study with some of the greatest scientific minds, as well as a lifetime of meditative, spiritual, and philosophic study, the Dalai Lama presents a brilliant analysis of why all avenues of inquiry—scientific as well as spiritual—must be pursued in order to arrive at a complete picture of the truth. Through an examination of Darwinism and karma, quantum mechanics and philosophical insight into the nature of reality, neurobiology and the study of consciousness, the Dalai Lama draws significant parallels between contemplative and scientific examinations of reality. This breathtakingly personal examination is a tribute to the Dalai Lama’s teachers—both of science and spirituality. The legacy of this book is a vision of the world in which our different approaches to understanding ourselves, our universe, and one another can be brought together in the service of humanity.

Download or read book The Probability of God written by Dr. Stephen D. Unwin and published by Forum Books. This book was released on 2004-10-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does God exist? This is probably the most debated question in the history of mankind. Scholars, scientists, and philosophers have spent their lifetimes trying to prove or disprove the existence of God, only to have their theories crucified by other scholars, scientists, and philosophers. Where the debate breaks down is in the ambiguities and colloquialisms of language. But, by using a universal, unambiguous language—namely, mathematics—can this question finally be answered definitively? That’s what Dr. Stephen Unwin attempts to do in this riveting, accessible, and witty book, The Probability of God. At its core, this groundbreaking book reveals how a math equation developed more than 200 years ago by noted European philosopher Thomas Bayes can be used to calculate the probability that God exists. The equation itself is much more complicated than a simple coin toss (heads, He’s up there running the show; tails, He’s not). Yet Dr. Unwin writes with a clarity that makes his mathematical proof easy for even the nonmathematician to understand and a verve that makes his book a delight to read. Leading you carefully through each step in his argument, he demonstrates in the end that God does indeed exist. Whether you’re a devout believer and agree with Dr. Unwin’s proof or are unsure about all things divine, you will find this provocative book enlightening and engaging. “One of the most innovative works [in the science and religion movement] is The Probability of God...An entertaining exercise in thinking.”—Michael Shermer, Scientific American “Unwin’s book [is] peppered with wry, self-deprecating humor that makes the scientific discussions more accessible...Spiritually inspiring.”--Chicago Sun Times “A pleasantly breezy account of some complicated matters well worth learning about.”--Philadelphia Inquirer “One of the best things about the book is its humor.”--Cleveland Plain Dealer “In a book that is surprisingly lighthearted and funny, Unwin manages to pack in a lot of facts about science and philosophy.”--Salt Lake Tribune
Download or read book Science Set Free written by Rupert Sheldrake and published by Deepak Chopra. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home offers an intriguing new assessment of modern day science that will radically change the way we view what is possible. In Science Set Free (originally published to acclaim in the UK as The Science Delusion), Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows the ways in which science is being constricted by assumptions that have, over the years, hardened into dogmas. Such dogmas are not only limiting, but dangerous for the future of humanity. According to these principles, all of reality is material or physical; the world is a machine, made up of inanimate matter; nature is purposeless; consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain; free will is an illusion; God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. But should science be a belief-system, or a method of enquiry? Sheldrake shows that the materialist ideology is moribund; under its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns while societies around the world are paying the price. In the skeptical spirit of true science, Sheldrake turns the ten fundamental dogmas of materialism into exciting questions, and shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities for discovery. Science Set Free will radically change your view of what is real and what is possible.

Download or read book Faith and Wisdom in Science written by Tom McLeish and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Can you Count the Clouds?" asks the voice of God from the whirlwind in the stunningly beautiful catalogue of nature-questions from the Old Testament Book of Job. Tom McLeish takes a scientist's reading of this ancient text as a centrepiece to make the case for science as a deeply human and ancient activity, embedded in some of the oldest stories told about human desire to understand the natural world. Drawing on stories from the modern science of chaos and uncertainty alongside medieval, patristic, classical and Biblical sources, Faith and Wisdom in Science challenges much of the current 'science and religion' debate as operating with the wrong assumptions and in the wrong space. Its narrative approach develops a natural critique of the cultural separation of sciences and humanities, suggesting an approach to science, or in its more ancient form natural philosophy - the 'love of wisdom of natural things' - that can draw on theological and cultural roots. Following the theme of pain in human confrontation with nature, it develops a 'Theology of Science', recognising that both scientific and theological worldviews must be 'of' each other, not holding separate domains. Science finds its place within an old story of participative reconciliation with a nature, of which we start ignorant and fearful, but learn to perceive and work with in wisdom. Surprisingly, science becomes a deeply religious activity. There are urgent lessons for education, the political process of decision-making on science and technology, our relationship with the global environment, and the way that both religious and secular communities alike celebrate and govern science.
