Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-03 00:00:00 Merrill Rutan One thing this book requires as fundamental is that there is a reality which is not dependent on the observer. Alongside this, our singular observations do not reveal all the secrets of this reality. I am reminded of Lee Smolin's remark, (paraphrase) "with a multitude of observers we move closer to the truth of the reality we observe." Time Reborn. Smolin allows that different perspectives adjust the description, which will never be universal, but moves closer asymptotically to that reality. As a scientist, and a theologian, McGrath captures a healthy and lucid middle road that is conciliatory to all forms of human research, with the proviso that the research is undertaken with the "real world" in mind. A warning to reductionists of every stripe: abandon hope of keeping your systematic ignorance intact.
