Plasma physicist Ian Hutchinson has been asked hundreds of
questions about faith and science: What is faith and what is
science? Are they compatible? Are there realities science cannot
explain? Is God's existence a scientific question? Is the Bible
consistent with the modern scientific understanding of the
universe? Are there scientific reasons to believe in God? In this
comprehensive volume, Hutchinson answers a full range of inquiries
with sound scientific insights and measured Christian perspective.
Without minimizing challenging questions, he explores how science
and Christianity are mutually supportive and intellectually
consistent. Both God and science truthfully address our curiosity
and destiny. Find answers to your deepest questions.
Can real knowledge be found other than by science? In this unique
approach to understanding today's culture wars, an MIT physicist
answers emphatically yes. He shows how scientism --- the view that
science is all the knowledge there is --- suffocates reason as well
as religion. Tracing the history of scientism and its frequent
confusion with science, Hutchinson explains what makes modern
science so persuasive and powerful, but restricts its scope.
Recognizing science's limitations, and properly identifying what we
call nature, liberates both science and non-scientific knowledge.
A road racer to the core, Hutchy has enjoyed spectacular success at
the Isle of Man TT, the North West 200 and the Ulster Grand Prix,
but his own story goes far beyond even those triumphs. In the
summer of 2010, Hutchy set the record for most wins in a single
Isle of Man TT festival - five in all - having already won the
Supersport class at the North West 200 in Northern Ireland. Then
disaster struck. At a British Supersport round in September that
year, he crashed heavily after being struck by another rider's
machine, breaking his left leg so badly that at one stage it was
feared it might have to be amputated. After many surgical
operations and a long period of recovery, he fractured the same leg
in 2012 while practising exhibition-riding for a motorycle show in
London. Yet not even these disasters could keep the Yorkshireman
from racing. After modifications to the gear levers and rear brakes
on his race machines, he went out and won the 2013 Macau Grand
Prix.Two years later saw an even more staggering return to form,
when he secured three wins, a second and a third place at the 2015
Isle of Man TT, also winning the Joey Dunlop TT Championship Trophy
for that year. Hutchy: Miracle Man is a book not only for fans of
motorcycle road racing, but for anyone interested in the life and
career of a brilliant rider and an extraordinarily brave and
enduring man, a hugely popular figure not just for his
achievements, but for his unassuming modesty, kindness and humour.
