    About this ebook

    As Christians, we are often urged to turn away from scientific discovery and rely solely on the Bible as the source of our faith. On the other hand, many people in areas such as science, law, and education insist that Christian faith is lowbrow or unintelligent. But is it possible to reconcile science with what you believe about God? As someone who has grappled with the issues of science and faith in the public eye for more than a decade as a television journalist, Dr. Michael Guillen believes it is possible. In fact, by embracing the discoveries of science we can see God, the universe, and humanity in full, multidimensional glory.

    Fortunately, you don't have to be a genius to enjoy this book. The bite-sized chapters are full of fascinating scientific tidbits in an easy-to-understand format. Captivating stories of the author's childhood in the Mexican barrio of East L.A. and his work in television and research are woven throughout. There is even an entertaining SQ (Spiritual Quotient) test for readers to take.

      Guillen fails at a fundamental level. He maintains that 1) there is no correlation between intelligence and spirituality and 2) that the highest levels of scientists are non-believers. Obviously, smart people can believe in God, but they are far less likely to do so.Rather than explain this phenomenon, Guillen appeals to the heart, which anyone, including atheists, can do. Study Humanism, Guillen!
