Anonymous’ book, “All I Know about the Universe: Meditations on Reality and Spirituality by a Doctor, Patient, Scientist, and Reluctant Believer,” is now available worldwide. This 222-page collection of essays tackles the seemingly incompatible issues of science and theology, showing how they can be reframed and coexist with each other. By examining the big existential questions of where we come from and why we exist from an interdisciplinary perspective, the author finds an intersection that sheds new light on both the physical and metaphysical realms.
Seeking answers that are “scientifically guided and spiritually informed,” the book offers a new way of looking at spirituality through the lenses of evolutionary biology, cosmology, quantum mechanics, and other disciplines. By equally criticizing the dogmatic shortcomings of both sides of this age-old debate, the book challenges assumptions, offers deep insights to readers of all backgrounds, and takes a bold stance against increasingly siloed schools of thought.
The author’s dedicated research methodology, derived from his background as a professor, editor, and practitioner, gives him a scientific approach to the big questions of “how” and “why.” But his personal and practical experience has also taught him the importance of spiritual nourishment, resulting in a balanced and comprehensive worldview that dismantles the starting assumptions of the bitter conflict between theists and atheists.
Armed with a comprehensive and sophisticated approach to one of humanity’s most pressing debates, the essays delve into the crises facing humanity, the deepening divisions, and the urgent need for reconciliation for the benefit of society as a whole. Though each essay is an independent critical, theoretical, and reflective piece of work, together they make a powerful case for the importance of spiritual realization and the need to balance analytical and data-driven intellectualism.
A fascinating critique that spans the ideological spectrum, this revelatory call for social, spiritual and psychological change shows the rift between science and theology to be illusory and offers a context for a coexistence that could remake the world.
Everything I Know About the Universe (ISBN: 9798327433878) is available at retailers worldwide, including Barnes and Noble and Amazon. The paperback retails for $9.99 and the eBook retails for $0.99. Review copies and interviews are available upon request.
From the back cover:
Written from the perspective of a physician and scientist, “Everything I Know About the Universe” is a selection of essays that explain why we need to rethink our fundamental assumptions about science and theology, and why these two fields of thought can coexist. The need to ask where we come from and why we are here is a fundamental part of being human. Appealing to evolutionary biology, quantum mechanics, cosmology, and number theory, this text shows how these two questions can be reframed and answered in a way that is both scientifically and spiritually informed. Along the way, the authors offer definitions of mind, consciousness, and spirituality, and show that even if we may never get definitive answers to life’s big ontological questions, asking them is one of the most important things we can do. The essays also delve into some of the most significant criticisms of traditional religious and scientific perspectives on the universe.
About the author:
The author is an associate professor at the University of Washington Medical Center and a physician in the Veterans Affairs Health System. As a professor, the author has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications in the medical literature. As an editor, the author edits and peer reviews manuscripts for leading journals in the field. In addition to being a physician and professor, this book is inspired by the author’s journey as a patient with a rare heart disease. Facing his own mortality and armed with academic knowledge of the disease he had, the author sought to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be a good person. This was difficult, because fundamental, holistic questions are hard to ask in an academic environment. There are many reasons why the academic world does not lead to holistic questions, but the central one is that the academic world of the 1700s fundamentally reoriented itself by separating science and spirituality. Before that era, knowing the universe was both a spiritual and scientific undertaking, and scientists often took both obligations seriously. In our modern age, where the debate between atheists and theists is becoming more and more intense, the complementary nature of science and spirituality is further obscured by postmodern arguments. However, the author tried to bridge the gap between science and spirituality based on his own health problems and experience as a doctor and professor. And the more he focuses on this gap, the more it becomes clear that scientific and spiritual issues play a complementary role.
