Meditations on Reality and Spirituality from a Doctor, a Patient, a Scientist, and a Reluctant Believer
Nonfiction
Date Published: June 29, 2024
Written from the perspective of a doctor and scientist, Everything that I
Know About the Universe is a selection of essays explaining why we need to
rethink some of our basic assumptions about science and theology and how the
two fields of thought can coexist. The need to ask where we came from and
why we’re here is a fundamental part of being human. This text seeks to take
those two questions and reframe them to show how they can be scientifically
answered, but spiritually informed, with appeals made to evolutionary
biology, quantum mechanics, cosmology, and large number theory. Along the
way, the author lays out definitions for the mind, consciousness, and
spirituality, and shows that even if we can’t have definitive answers to the
big existential questions of life, asking those questions is one of the most
important things that we can do. The essays also delve into some of the most
important critiques of traditional religious and scientific perspectives on
the universe.
