Description:This book attempts to show that insights can be gleaned from both science and religion to enable us to understand what the world is like, how the human animal is distinctive from the sub-human, and how we might think of God. It proceeds on the basis that Einstein was right when he said that 'science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind'. The book opposes the view that we are survival machines and argues that such an explanation is incomplete and is not justified either by science or religion.
