Our attempts to understand the world around us are greatly advanced by scientific research, which holds nearly unlimited potential to address our questions of "what? "and "how? "Some scientific fields, however, seem to take a hands-off approach to the big question of "why? Why "does the universe work the way it does? "Why "do our brains make us think certain thoughts or feel certain sensations? "Why "did we evolve the way we did? Some fundamental scientific understanding is necessary before one can venture too deeply into these types of inquiries, which almost inevitably involve larger philosophical and theological implications. "The Templeton Science and Religion Reader "invites readers to explore some of these fascinating questions and offers them the kind of knowledge they'll need in order to seriously consider possible answers.In the Templeton Science and Religion Series, scientific experts from a wide range of fields have distilled their experience and knowledge into brief tours of their respective specialties. The series was launched in 2008 with the publication of the inaugural volume, "Medicine, Religion, and Health. "Since that time, the series editors J. Wentzel van Huyssteen and Khalil Chamcham have expanded it to nine titles covering everything from paleontology to neuroscience to technology. Now, in "The Templeton Science and Religion Reader, "the editors have gathered together the very best chapters from these volumes into a single edited collection.These chapters presuppose no scientific background and are designed to be accessible to the general reader. Each section may have a different focus--a quantum, a star in a galaxy, a bee, or the seat of human intelligence, which some may call the soul--but the editors have done a great service to the reader by juxtaposing these subjects in a way that suggests how each one relates to other entities, including both its own kind and the wider global environment. The end result is a truly cohesive collection that will both broaden and deepen our understanding of these interconnected relations and, in turn, the world around us.Contributors include Denis R. Alexander, Justin L. Barrett, R. J. Berry, Warren S. Brown, Noreen Herzfeld, Malcom Jeeves, Harold G. Koenig, Javier Leach, Joseph Silk, and Ian Tattersall.
