Librarian note: An alternative cover for this ISBN can be found here. In God and the New Physics, Paul Davies explains how science has come of age, and can now offer a surer path to divinity than religion. Science is now on the verge of answering our most profound questions about the nature of existence. Here Paul Davies explains how the far-reaching discoveries of recent physics are revolutionizing our world and, in particular, throwing light on many of the questions formerly posed by religion, such as: Why is there a universe? Where did we come from? What is life? How is the world organized? Examining subjects from the creation to the soul, free will to time, black holes to miracles, he travels through science and religion to show us that there is more to the world than meets the eye. 'Excellent ... explains with fluent simplicity some of the profoundest questions of cosmology' - Daily Telegraph 'One of the finest science writers of this generation' - Independent 'Paul Davies is our best guide to this strange new world' - Observer 'A list of topics to which he refers would constitute an outline for a dictionary of contemporary scientific excitement. His style is clear, interesting, chatty' - The Times Higher Education Supplement

God and the new physics
After finishing reading this book, I had to read it again immediately, not because I love it, which I arguably kind of do, but because I remembered nothing; therefore, I would not be able to give the book a fair review.
Despite being written in 1984, "God and the New Physics" by Paul Davies is not out of date as the questions which it posed have not been answered yet. This book tries to relate the concept on God in theology to the new physics consisted of the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics.
The author argues that science is a better tool that can be used to approach the understanding of God than religions are - by God here, we mean the architect of the Universe, not the commonly known God in Christianity.
In the instant after the Big Bang, the Universe was a mess of fundamental particles, but they followed, what we call, the laws of nature. As time went by, the particles evolved into different shapes forming matters and energy in planets, stars, galaxies and other celestial bodies. When humans look up the sky, we question whether what we can see are also designed by intelligent beings like we design watches. So, is there a Creator?
The answer of that question cannot be found in the book, but the author offered a great deal of ideas for readers to think critically. One thing that I reluctantly agree with him is that, atheism requires faith just like religious dogmas do since there is no evidence in the absence of God; however that does not make the probability of God's existence any higher either.
From the book, readers will learn more why is there a Universe, what is life, what are mind and soul, what is self, does free will exist, and a whole lots of "quite advanced" quantum mechanics.
Admittedly, some parts of the book that are beyond my understanding completely baffle me, but I am grateful to pick up some new ideas from for my bucket of scientific knowledge. I recommend this book to those who would like to know how science could play a role in discovering God, if such a thing exists
