- Gerald Schroeder is a scientist with over thirty years of experience in research and teaching. He earned his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees all at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This was followed by seven years on the staff of the MIT physics department prior to moving to Israel, where he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science and then the Volcani Research Institute, while also having a laboratory at The Hebrew University. His Doctorate is in two fields: Earth sciences and nuclear physics. His formal theological training includes fifteen years of study under the late Rabbi Herman Pollack, Rabbi Chaim Brovender and Rabbi Noah Weinberg.

God According to God
physicist studies God
The author is an MIT-trained physicist whose old website is worth visiting too: geraldschroeder.com.
He claims that Quantum Physics explains why the Universe can be billions of years old and yet still consistent with a literal interpretation of Genesis as requiring six days of creation. Time is relative, and depending on your point of view, it can easily take zillions of years,
His explanation of Evolution, and its unlikely (impossible) ability to generate the level of species variation we see, is less convincing to me. He goes into the math of probability to derive a seemingly-airtight case for why chance alone cannot explain phylogenetic variation (i.e. anything at the phylum level). But his math seems to assume that all forces are equally random. But natural selection can be very mean, culling everything in its path in just a few generations. In fact, I think Schroeder’s explanation is so good that it denies some obvious facts of natural selection in our lifetimes: the rise of, say, type 1 diabetes or myopia — simply due to the lack of a culling force on people who would previously have died long before they reproduced.… (más)

This book, a combination of scientific research and Biblical study, offers readers a new standard of how to understand God. Bypassing the age-old debate between science and religion, the author instead examines the world around him and the writings in the Bible in order to discover the true nature of God.
With attention to the characteristics of God as seen in the Bible, this scientific view of creation and the place of our planet in the solar system, the author offers much for readers to contemplate.
Highly recommended.… (más)
