The Wonder of the World: A Journey from Modern Science to the Mind of God

by Roy Abraham Varghese

In The Wonder of the World, "Guru" (Madhva Mitra) and "Geek" (Joe Levin) debate the fundamental questions of existence. These are the starting points of their inquiry:

- What happened before the Big Bang?
- Does the universe have an IQ?
- How do electrons and photons, cells and proteins, "know" what to do and what keeps them ticking?
- How do thoughts "cause" brain events?
- Is there a supra-scientific Theory of Everything?
- What did the pioneers and prophets of science think of God?

Guru is an exponent of the God-equation that underlies science and reason and Geek is an atheist scientist who holds that science leaves no room for religion. Guru seeks to show that we can "see" God here and now. Geek says, "show me." Guru offers to lead a pilgrimage from the invention of Nature to the Mind of God. Join them now as they journey through the Wonder of the World: space, time and motion; the quantum microverse; Big Bang and other cosmologies; the saga of life on planet Earth and the appearance of rational self-consciousness.

[Nagabhushan]

An amazing book detailing scientific basis of reality

[Pat · Rating 2 out of 5]

he Book seemed to have been written attempting to prove the existence of God. It proved lots of scientific things, but not the existence of God. I believe in a great intelligence and this simply confirms what I already believe. It was a very difficult read because the author seemed to be writing in a second language and enjoyed using more words than necessary.

A beautiful journey around the contours of the mind of God that explains how all existence had its "being and becoming" from One Supreme Principle
