Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No religion that claims to be relevant in today's world can ignore the truths that science teaches us. Nor can it ignore the spiritual values and teachings of past generations. The deep religious heritage of humanity is like a pirate's buried treasure chest. The ancient chest decays into rotten wood and rusty iron, but the precious jewels inside remain as fresh as the day they were buried. They need only to be reclaimed and then placed in a fresh container. The same is true for our religious heritage. Religion today is undergoing a radical transformation that is affecting all aspects of our lives. This book presents a synthesis between traditional values and our changing understanding of the universe. We live in an age of science and technology that profoundly affects the way we see things. God, Science and the Universe presents the outline for a new faith grounded in the natural world.
