The book discusses God in the perspective of Bible, Quran, other Scriptures, Science and Philosophy.
"He who understands himself, understands God."
Einstein refers to inspiration scientists derive from religion.
An excerpt from letter by Galileo to Benedetto Castelli, illustrates how he
viewed role of Scripture in relation to science:
I agree as you most prudently proposed, conceded, and established, that it is not
possible for Sacred Scripture ever to deceive or to err; rather its decrees have absolute and
inviolable truth. Only I would have added" that, although Scripture itself cannot err,
nevertheless some of its interpreters and expositors can sometimes err, and in various ways.
The most serious and most frequent of these errors occur when they wish to maintain always
the direct meaning of the words, because from this their results lead not only to various
contradictions but even to grave and blasphemous heresies. Accordingly it would be
necessary to attribute to God, feet and hands and eyes and even human and bodily feelings
like anger, regret, hatred, and even occasional forgetfulness of the past and ignorance of the
future. Many propositions are found in the Scriptures which, in respect to the bare meaning
of the words, give an impression which is different from the truth, but they are stated in this
way in order to be accommodated to the incapacities of the common man.
(Darrel R. Falk, Coming to Peace with Science, pp.27-28)
Recovering spiritual and ethical riches and wisdom of the Scripture, while at
the same time, upholding advances of science in equitable rights, is a revolutionary
change describing modern thought.
