Faith and Science
Faith is under assault today in the media, in Hollywood, and on college campuses. Scientific advances can lead people to think that faith is passé, supplanted by science, and no longer necessary. Parents are concerned that their children’s faith is not as strong as it should be. This book demonstrates using concrete facts how cosmology, physics, astronomy, biology, and evolution, strongly support faith in God and are not in conflict with it. God the Geometer is an image from a 13th century codex, which conveys the message that God created the universe using geometric and harmonic principles.

“Throughout the book, the author connects the science discussed to basic tenets of the Christian faith. Highly recommended for anyone interested to learn how science supports faith.”
Janice Hicks, Ph.D., former Deputy Director of Materials Research at NSF, and an Episcopal Deacon. “I believe in God and quantum mechanics. I had about given up on the rational explanation of aligning modern science and belief in God. This book however provides much needed clarity.”
