Scientific Spirituality

Scientific Spirituality is an easy to read book that reviews advances in science and how they help our spiritual beliefs. Some advances have been around for some time, such as evolution, brain functions, and the various traits of our personalities. Others are newer but are becoming established, such as the Big Bang theory, how genes work, the types of brain waves, and how people learn. Still others are so new that scientists aren't sure if they're real or not, such as string theory, reincarnation, artificial life, and parallel universes.

Dr. Bender has brought published research from a broad range of fields, including astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, anthropology, archaeology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, theology, mysticism, topology, and probability, to describe the essentials of spirituality. Scientific advances help find logical, rather than magical, interpretations for extraordinary spiritual events people describe. The result is a cohesive view of spirituality that's consistent with science.

Scientific Spirituality is both a "what if" and a "how to" book for people trying to understand how science and spirituality connect, what if your spirit lived forever, and how to improve your spirit for eternity.
