I read the book and am continueing to read it. The Genesis account makes sense but I have to spend some time yet thinking about it in order to try and see it as a scientist would. The free will section was lame to me I think Evans Harris Walker's "The Physics of Consciousness" does a better job on free will (he is a believer). The Adam creation account was interesting. I do think he did his best to stay faithful to the old testament as well as he could and confirm the old torah interpretaions with recent scientific evidence.The author from what I can understand is a compatibilist, or just afraid to let go of classical foreknowledge statements. If we keep the book in the realm of what man can discover by his spirit of natural light or from the revelation in creation. I think there are some good things to think about in what he says. When I read it I see he leaves out the revelation of spirits, angles, devil, Holy Spirit, sin ect. I am unable to discuss philosophically as the other ones that post but for what it is worth.

| Posted 1/20/2003 7:47 AM (GMT -6) | | Briefly, I haven't had a chance to read this book other than a quick look, but my son, who has a much deeper understanding of nuclear-particle-quantum physics from his enginnering courses than I, really enjoyed The Science of God. He believes that some of Schroeder's theoretical thinking sheds a new understanding on creation, he also hesitates to recommend it because though he got a lot out of certain concepts, he also saw gaps in the information.
