Beschreibung
From the host of the popular podcasts The Liturgists. and Ask Science Mike. , a story of having faith, losing it and finding it again through science - revealing how the latest in neuroscience, physics, and biology help us understand God, faith and ourselves. What do you do when God dies. It's a question facing millions today, as science reveals a universe that's self-creating, western culture departs from its Christian heritage and the idea of God begins to seem implausible at best and barbaric at worst. Mike McHargue understands the pain of unravelling belief. In Finding God in the Waves. , he tells the story of how his evangelical faith dissolved into atheism as he studied the Bible, a crisis that threatened his identity, his friendships and even his marriage. Years later, Mike was standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean when a bewildering, seemingly mystical moment motivated him to take another look. But this time, it wasn't theology or scripture that led him back to God - it was science. In Finding God in the Waves. , 'Science Mike' draws on his personal experience to tell the unlikely story of how science led him back to faith. Among other revelations, we learn what brain scans reveal about what happens when we pray; how fundamentalism affects the psyche; and how God is revealed not only in scripture, but in the night sky, in subatomic particles, and in us. For the faithful and sceptic alike, Finding God in the Waves. is a powerful, page-turning read about belonging, life's biggest questions, and the hope of knowing God in an age of science. 'More than your typical 'science vs faith' book, Finding God in the Waves. is a deeply engrossing story about the experience of doubt, the thrill of discovery, and what it means to be human. Mike is the rare storyteller who can make you laugh, tear up, and feel a sense of wonder, all on the same page - and in this delightful book, he has delivered an essential, unprecedented read on the role contemplation plays in how we can know God, even in an age of skepticism. ' - Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upward. Mike McHargue, also known as 'Science Mike', is a Christian turned atheist turned follower of Jesus who uses his story to help people know God in an age of science. Mike is the host and co-host of two podcasts - Ask Science Mike and The Liturgists Podcast - that have attracted a curious following among Christians, the spiritually interested and the religiously unaffiliated. He is an in-demand speaker at conferences and churches in the US, and he writes for the Storyline Blog, Sojourners and Relevant. magazine.
