Recensione:

If everyone understood as well as Amir Aczel does that scientific and religious ways of knowing belong to entirely separate and uncompeting forms of human experience, the world would be a much more pleasant place to live in. (IAN TATTERSALL, American Museum of Natural History (Division of Anthropology); author of Masters of the Planet: In Search of Our Human Origins)

Amir Aczel combines scientific credibility, stylistic elegance, and argumentative vigor in Why Science Does Not Disprove God. What s more, he s right. (RABBI DAVID WOLPE, Sinai Temple (Los Angeles); author of Why Faith Matters)

[A] thoughtful, erudite journey through modern science and philosophy, and a clear exposition of a problem with which humans have struggled for millennia. (MARIO LIVIO, astrophysicist, Space Telescope Science Institute; author of Is God a Mathematician? and Brilliant Blunders)

Aczel is one of our best science popularizers. (Publishers Weekly)

Amir Aczel is a pop idol of the science-writing world. (Willamette Week)

In Aczel, Richard Dawkins and his fellow New Atheists face a formidable opponent. Aczel wields impressive intellectual weapons in demolishing the New Atheists claims. ... With compelling reasoning, Aczel demonstrates that Dawkins and his allies ... distort or misrepresent the methods and findings of science. (Booklist (starred review))

[An] intelligent and stimulating book. ... Part of the continuing and restorative conversation of humanity with itself. In the end, all of our art, our science and our theological beliefs are an attempt to make sense of this fabulous and fleeting existence we find ourselves in. (ALAN LIGHTMAN, Washington Post)

Explains that science and religion should not be mutually exclusive [and] you can embrace scientific progress while staying devoted to your faith. (Beliefnet) --Various
