Exploring the intersection of art, science and religion, "Seeking
Truth: Living with Doubt" considers that all three are paths to the
same end. Attacking not only the unyielding smugness of
evolutionary biologists but also the uncompromising surety of
Fundamentalist figureheads (in both the Christian and Islamic
faiths), author Steven Fortney and Marshall Onellion take the
reader on a path that disavows all such certainties and considers
the thought-provoking question; What does it mean to live with
doubt? Far from leaving questions unanswered, instead they tackle
such questions as proof versus faith, the impossibility of absolute
understanding, and how a combination of art, science and religion
can lead to a transcendence of that which we cannot know. In so
doing, they expose the dangers of "certainty," be it in religion,
science or any other ideology that claims to offer absolute truth.
"Seeking Truth: Living with Doubt" has been endorsed by theologians
(Arthur Dewey, Professor of Theology, Xavier University a Jesuit
University], Ohio, USA), biologists (Clark Lindgren, Grinnell
College, Iowa, USA), and physicists (Narendra Kumar, Director of
the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore, India), by Christians,
Jews, Hindus and Buddhists. It will appeal to those interested in
the two channels of truth seeking: transcencence (also called
religion) and the physical world (also called science). The book
interconnects many science topics, including cosmology,
neurobiology and evolution, to religion and the arts. It also
proposes some unorthodox ideas, including the equivalence of the
Christian concept of Grace and the Buddhist concept of Emptiness,
and that what a religious devout person does in prayer is identical
to what a writer does during the creative process.
