Modernity, A World of Confusion: Reality and Choice

About the Book

Do things bring happiness? Do you believe only what you see? What is truth? What can you reliably know? Is death nothingness? Does God exist? This book examines such questions, from which two distinct world views arise and are surveyed. The book examines reality, how our choices determine our character and final destination, knowledge, and limitations of science; surveys relativity, quantum physics, life, evolution, and man’s uniqueness; and looks at reality’s material and immaterial aspects. Genesis is reviewed and shown to have scientific meaning. The book ends by proposing two very different paths that one can choose to follow.

About the Author

The author is a retired software engineering manager who lives in Colorado with his wife of 54 years. He has three children and four grandchildren. He enjoys reading on a wide range of subjects and observing the changing culture. These interests inspired his two previous books on the cause and effects of modernity on today’s society.
