In this compelling work, the distinguished French scientist Georges Mallet presents a chronological account of the major scientific discoveries of the past three millennia, guiding readers through the development of theories explaining the lead-up to the Big Bang and exploring alternative explanations to the creation of the universe. He provides insights from over 500 scientists and scholars from various religious backgrounds, including more than 120 Nobel Prize winners.
The Convergence of Science and Belief challenges the notion that belief in God is naive, arguing instead that faith and science are compatible and complementary. Through trenchant argument, Mallet reveals how faith has often encouraged and stimulated the search for truth.
