alfonsoromero's review against another edition
3.0
This book is a systematic overview of the relation between science and theology. It explains how science is being used to corroborate and improve on classical christian doctrine. If you look at the date, it is obviously dated, but I would still recommend it as an introductory text to the topic at hand. Davies is fairly evenhanded, and offers an accessible source of the prevailing ways that faith is being syncretized with science.

Ghost in the machine? Intelligence in the design of the universe, without the need for a god who is Creator or worse yet a Dictator.
Part of my intro to religious studies class in college, which had me thinking maybe I wanted to pursue comparative religious studies for a while there. Seriously influenced my own long-standing belief in a intelligent life force in the universe that syncs up pretty well with a sort of esoteric Taoist/Buddhist understanding of the nature of reality.

Gran libro de divulgación que hace un repaso extensivo de la relatividad general y la mecánica cuántica. Lo leí al empezar la carrera y me reafirmó en mi decisión de ser físico. Paul Davies escribe muy bien, y sabe explicar conceptos como pocos. En este libro en concreto se enreda también con la religión, apuntando a la existencia de un dios no necesariamente religioso pero sí creador, una especia de panteísmo. Las partes puramente científicas, sin embargo, son muy buenas.
