Few questions have vexed humanity more than how did we come to exist? How can we reconcile the Big Bang Theory with the monotheist belief in the wonders of creation? The Fabric of Eternity: A Scientist's View of the Works of Providence is scientist István Kolossváry's personal view of the Universe that allows for science and theology to exist in peaceful unison. It is neither new science nor new theology; it is a humble attempt to lower the language barrier between these two disciplines in hope for a better understanding, appreciation, and gratitude to the Universe and her Creator.
In this debut nonfiction, Kolossváry makes the argument on scientific grounds that there are only two ways of thinking about the workings of the Universe: We either realize the continuous loving care of God, or we go it alone, reject God, and insist upon a self-contained existence with no reason or purpose.
Science can only offer these two fundamental alternatives but cannot decide between them in the lab. In a scientific experiment involving humans, however, Kolossváry argues that the "go it alone" theory may be proven false. In an experiment the reader can personally do, Kolossváry shows that the "go it alone" theory makes predictions that contradict human nature. Those who choose to go it alone shall be bound -- on scientific grounds -- to deny commonly accepted traits such as free will, honor and human dignity. It is the reader's call: does the experiment verify or refute the "go it alone" theory?
With over 25 years as a scientist, Kolossváry has privately grappled with the chasm between science and theology. The Fabric of Eternity: A Scientist's View of the Works of Providence seeks to eradicate the wall that divides the two disciplines and bring a fresh perspective to believers in both.
About the Author:
István Kolossváry is a scientist and professor working in the research field of computer simulations of chemical and biological systems. He holds multiple advanced degrees from the Budapest University of Technology and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. István has been a researcher at various universities and pharmaceutical research labs in Europe and in the United States including Columbia University and most recently a New York based private research organization. He won the 2006 Hungarian Academy of Sciences Book Award in Chemistry for co-authoring Introduction to Computer Aided Drug Design.
Over 25 years in his career as a scientist, István has privately grappled with the chasm between science and theology, two disciplines he holds dear. In his debut work The Fabric of Eternity, István shares results from years of scientific inquiry into the works of divine providence and concludes there is solid scientific evidence to suggest that rejecting God and His loving care is against human nature.
