About the Book

Should the act of creation by God be taken, i.e., can it be considered, in a light other than that of religion? Indeed, is it even possible to view it in terms of facts and knowledge, rather than one of faith? Virtually all organized religions assume the existence of God as the creator of the universe and all things in it. This belief has always taken the form of faith (and reason), i.e., it is an act of faith and not necessarily one of knowledge, which is in effect an assumption of belief, rather than one based on scientific fact, and unless this belief is brought into the realm of science, we can never be certain, beyond any doubt that God does indeed exist.

This author explains how scientific principles can enter into the explanation of God's existence and how the Act of Creation itself comes out of the hiddenness of God's root source of energy and into the open realm of 3-dimensionality.



About the Author

The author spent his formative years, the 40's, in the School of Hard Knocks, growing up in Brooklyn where street fighting was almost a daily occurrence. By age 15 however, he realized that fighting wasn't the answer to things because it was a sure way to lose friends and gain new enemies. He learned early on that there could be other ways to settle differences.

He loved baseball and played a lot of it on the rough fields in Red Hook, and was even offered a minor league contract at age 21. By then he was IA in the draft and would soon be entering military service. He served two years in the U.S. Army, one year of which was spent in Korea (1952-3) and arrived home in one piece, after several near misses, including a sniper's rifle-shot that whistled past his left ear.

He attended the City College of New York evenings for five years and managed to complete two years toward a four-year B.A. degree.

Although he worked as credit manager for a well-known firm and ran two businesses during his working career, these were just basically "jobs" for him. His major interest over the years was in the pursuit of the question of God's existence, and he studied the prospects in terms of showing how scientific principles can be used to bring forth his creative powers and where the Thought of God was the Prime Mover in the Universe.

This led him into an in-depth study of many areas of physics with what might be called an heuristic approach, resulting often in serendipitous conclusions.
