Science explains "What?" and "How?" Philosophy and Theology explains the "Why?" of our existence, which requires Truth, Understanding and Faith (Trust).
This book is a guide that builds a bridge between what many believe and what skeptics' question, using theories and discoveries in many newly explored areas. We are at a special time in human history because of recent scientific breakthroughs that are changing mistaken theories by "experts." Relevant texts include materials compiled by us during the past half-century.
We not scientists, philosophers, or theologians. We are "thinkers," who wish to share with you "Words of Wisdom," from scholars that we found fascinating. The major building blocks of this edifice are what Scientists, Scholars and Scripture contributed. We select, paraphrase, interpret, and summarize what they wrote, while fashioning a few ideas of our own, and bring it together into a style that this generation may find suitable.
Throughout this book we have tried to faithfully present a balanced dialogue-both pro and con-on difficult topics, particularly regarding today's leading ideologies. There is no real search for truth for anyone standing outside generally agreed definitions, assumptions, without considering accepted facts, traditions, and communities of truth seekers.
Today's more educated and skeptical young adults are vulnerable to various peer-pressures, and mass media blitz that attack actual truths, and historical traditions. Hopefully, this book will provide "Words of Wisdom" to help defeat some of these false ideologies that have become "truths" in many of today's text books. To be sure all of the burning issues of our times will not be answered fully by this work, but at least a dialogue might have begun for sincere truth seekers, that will empower them against many false ideologies of our times.
