--------------------- S19a. God and physics --------------------- This is most likely to be controversial; but you might be interested in how the author of this FAQ sees the issues. The following links are to some relevant pages from my web site. How Do We Know Whether God Acts In The World? http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/sciandf/eng/godacts.html ''I found the assumption that `God acts in the world' a superior way of organizing the events that I see or hear happen.'' Knowledge, Chance, and Creation http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/sciandf/eng/chance.html (On the difficulty to know, and the role of the second law of thermodynamics as an instrument of creation) How to study http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/sciandf/eng/study.html ''When I questioned the bible about the attitude appropriate to the study of science I found the following instructions.'' How to Create a Universe - Instructions for an Apprentice God. http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/other/turing.txt (A fantasy to be read at leisure time) Science and Faith (an extensive collection of links) http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/sciandf.html ''Science is the truth only in matters that can be objectified; in the spiritual world, where values, goals, authority and purpose are located, science has nothing to say. It is a poor life that is restricted to the scientific standard of truth, where you and I are nothing but a collection of atoms without meaning and purpose. Realizing the narrow-minded nature of science opens the gate to an understanding of God that complements the scientific truth and gives life, love and peace.'' and in German: Gott - die grosse Unbekannte http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/sciandf/ger/unbek.html Mathematik, Physik und Ewigkeit (mit einem Augenzwinkern betrachtet) http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/sciandf/ger/neumann.pdf
