Light of the Mind, Light of the World: Illuminating Science Through Faith

Light of the Mind, Light of the World: Illuminating Science Through Faith is by Spencer Klavan. A fascinating philosophical look at faith and science. When science first became a field of study, it was fused with and fueled by faith. Over time science itself became an idol and God became unnecessary. As Nietzsche so pointedly said, "God is dead and we have killed him." Now science is not only anti-God it is becoming increasingly anti-human. Klavan argues in this interesting book, that science can actually lead us back to God. Whether you are a Christian or not, Klavan's walk through history and his arguments about the danger of "Science" and where it has led us will give you something to think about, especially after the pandemic and the growth of AI technology. A thoughtfully written and well foot-noted book.
