[PU: New York : Prometheus Books], 292 p. Hardcover with dustjacket. Originalbroschur mit Schutzumschlag. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Sehr gut und sauber. - In his New York Times best-selling God: The Ruled Hypothesis-How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist, physicist Victor J. Stenger tests God by employing the same method scientists use to deduce the simplest and the most complex truths in our universe. Stenger concludes beyond a reasonable doubt that the traditional Judeo-Christian-Islamic God does not exist. Moreover, he argues, it is inexcusable for scientists of faith to continue to delude themselves and others by promoting religion dressed up as science. In Quantum Gods, Stenger focuses on those who purport to use quantum mechanics to justify their extraordinary claims. New Age gurus have alleged that quantum mechanics establishes t e human mind is part of a cosmic consciousness pervading the universe. The popular documentary What the Bleep Do We Know!? as well as the bestselling book and film The Secret promote the c aim that we can make our own reality just by thinking about it—for example, imagining you are wealt y will send out vibes into the universe that * ill bring wealth to you. They argue that key developments in twentieth-century physics, such as the uncertainty principle, support the notion that God or a universal mind acts upon material reality. Christian theologians have also launched an effort to marry the laws of physics with God invoking quantum mechanics, chaos theory and “emergence” for legitimacy, but Stenger refutes these attempts to inject God into relatively recent developments in contemporary science. Does quantum mechanics show a connection between the human mind and the cosmos? Are our brains tuned into a “cosmic consciousness t at pervades the universe, enabling us to make our own reality? Do quantum mechanics and chaos theory provide a place for God to act in the world without violating natural laws? In this carefully reasoned and incisive analysis of popular theories that seek to link spirituality to physics, Stenger shows these contentions are wildly inaccurate misappropriations of advanced-level physics used to impress believers. Quantum Gods continues Stenger's mission to be a bulwark of reason challenging the latest efforts by religion and popular spirituality to wi angle their way into science.
