Energy, Matter, Life, Mind, Spirit

About the Book

Energy, Matter, Life, Mind, Spirit, is a 127-page meditation on the Big Questions: Why are we here? Does God exist? How can evil exist with a good and loving God? How should we lead our lives to find God? What is the true nature of God? How can God and science be reconciled? A consistent framework of analysis is developed providing eight theorems that answer the above questions.

Beginning with the Big Bang, a pattern is recognized in our universe, of increasingly complex levels of being, each building on the previous ones. Traditional concepts of religion such as Spirit and Soul are integrated into the analysis.

The implications for how humans should lead their lives are discussed, as well as the impact on current religious thinking, and the advantages of the approach advocated in the book. Over 350 quotations from religious thinkers over the centuries lend support.
