Frank Tipler Knihy

A highly respected physicist demonstrates that the essential beliefs of Christianity are wholly consistent with the laws of physics. Frank Tipler takes an exciting new approach to the age-old dispute about the relationship between science and religion in The Physics of Christianity. In reviewing centuries of writings and discussions, Tipler realized that in all the debate about science versus religion, there was no serious scientific research into central Christian claims and beliefs. So Tipler embarked on just such a scientific inquiry. The Physics of Christianity presents the fascinating results of his pioneering study. Tipler begins by outlining the basic concepts of physics for the lay reader and brings to light the underlying connections between physics and theology. In a compelling example, he illustrates how the God depicted by Jews and Christians, the Uncaused First Cause, is completely consistent with the Cosmological Singularity, an entity whose existence is required by physical law. His discussion of the scientific possibility of miracles provides an impressive, credible scientific foundation for many of Christianity's most astonishing claims, including the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, and the Incarnation. He even includes specific outlines for practical experiments that can help prove the validity of the "miracles" at the heart of Christianity. Tipler's thoroughly rational approach and fully accessible style sets The Physics of Christianity apart from other books dealing with conflicts between science and religion. It will appeal not only to Christian readers, but also to anyone interested in an issue that triggers heated and divisive intellectual and cultural debates.

In Zeiten heftiger Diskussionen um Wissenschaft versus Religion bringt der renommierte Physiker Frank J. Tipler seine wissenschaftliche Disziplin und seinen persönlichen Glauben in einer aufregenden Versuchsanordnung zusammen. Er erklärt die kosmologische Singularität, also den Ursprung von allem außerhalb von Raum und Zeit, zum jüdisch-christlichen Gott. Und er will zeigen, dass die 'Wunder' des Neuen Testaments, darunter die jungfräuliche Geburt, die Auferstehung und die Fleischwerdung, den physikalischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten nicht widersprechen. 'Wir haben die Implikationen physikalischer Gesetzmäßigkeit zu akzeptieren. Wenn sie die Existenz Gottes implizieren, nun, dann gibt es Gott auch', sagt Tipler, während manche seiner Kollegen das 'Unsinn' finden und meinen, er habe 'den Bogen überspannt' (Lawrence Krauss, New Scientist).

Explores the concepts and many implications of the theory that the structure and operation of the universe is determined by the existence of intelligent observers

Is there a higher power in the universe? What happens to us when we die? Leading physicist Frank J. Tipler tackles these questions and more in an astonishing and profoundly important book that scientifically proves the existence of God and the physical resurrection of the dead.
