Eternity: God, Soul, New Physics

By Trevelyan

Modern physics has demolished materialism. No longer can the mind and consciousness be dismissed as mere illusions. Instead of a world of solid objects made of atoms behaving like miniature billiard balls, quantum physics reveals a universe made from pure mentality: information, the stuff of minds, of souls. Abstractions such as good and evil, traditionally impenetrable to scientific analysis, can now be measured objectively.Much of our philosophical and religious thinking concerns time. But our intuitive view of time, of a present moment which moves relentlessly forward into an unknown future, has proved to be invalid. We must instead contemplate eternity, the theological conception of a timeless space, now revealed in experiments which have provoked bitter controversy over their apparent conflict with the theory of relativity.The insights given by modern science reveal that the ancient philosophers were in many ways on the right track all along. Religion and science can now be seen as comfortable partners, the two sides of the same coin. The proselytizing of the militant atheists who dominate today's popular press is ironic. Despite their claim to be defending science, it is science itself which reveals their position to be untenable.This book is written for a lay audience. Modern concepts are discussed on an intuitive basis, without mathematics, and the reader need recall no more than the broad outline of high-school science to be comfortable with the presentation. Care has been taken to ensure that the logic of the story flows unimpaired for the reader who chooses to skim past areas of fine-grained detail. Because many in the popular science audience will have little familiarity with religion, chapters are included which outline the history of religious traditions and the evolution of religious philosophy from ancient to modern times.
