Many people may think that the modern physical sciences - physics, chemistry, astronomy - and religion have little to do with each other. There are, however, many points that these two areas intersect. This volume in the Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion will cover the impact of religion and spirituality on some of the great scientific debates of the last 100 years - the origin of the universe, the nature of matter and energy, the quest for a TOE (theory of everything), and the current debates over multiple universes, the anthropic principle, and other aspects of theoretical physics that are borderline philosophy. Debates on these topics are common in popular works, and the author places all of these debates in a context that the average reader can understand. Religion and the Physics Sciences examines how science and religion intersect in some of the most profound scientific questions of the all time: How did the universe begin? What is the nature of matter and energy Did the universe evolve, or was there intelligent guidance? lBL Is there a theory of everything? The volume includes extracts from the most important primary source documents, as well as a glossary and a timeline of events.
