Translated by John Bowden

In an age when faith and science seem constantly to clash, can theologians and scientists come to a meeting of minds? Yes, maintains the intrepid Hans K ng, as he brilliantly argues here that religion and science are not mutually exclusive but complementary.

Focusing on beginnings -- beginnings of time, of the world, of man, of human will -- K ng deals with an array of scientific precepts and teachings. From a unified field theory to quantum physics to the Big Bang to the theory of relativity -- even superstring and chaos theories -- he examines all of the theories regarding the beginning of the universe and life (of all kinds) in that universe.

K ng seeks to reconcile theology with the latest scientific insights, holding that "a confrontational model for the relationship between science and theology is out of date, whether put forward by fundamentalist believers and theologians or by rationalistic scientists and philosophers." While accepting evolution as scientists generally describe it, he still maintains a role for God in founding the laws of nature by which life evolved and in facilitating the adventure of creation.

Exhibiting little patience for scientists who do not see beyond the limits of their discipline or for believers who try to tell experts how things must have been, K ng challenges readers to think more deeply about the beginnings in order to facilitate a new beginning in dialogue and understanding.

Be careful while assembling!
I have bought similair bookcases in the past...long time ago. I thought the quality back then was poor, because it was made out of compressed sawdust with glue ( composite). But these shelves are slightly less quality of those of long ago. The company has made great strides at providing the pieces with pre-drilled holes with excellent precision. However, the composite material does not have quite enough glue mixed within. So the material is ever so slightly crumbly. So once you screw in a screw, don't remove it, because if you do the screw will not hold as good. I reccomend that you add a drop of glue into each hole during assembly. The rotating screw locks are made of cheap pot-metal that will snap if you crank too hard on your screwdriver. The good news is the kit comes with plenty of extra screws, wooden dowels, and such.
