What is the key to the truth and power of science? Would a theory of everything disprove the soul? Is matter all there is? Can I keep science and my common sense? Can we travel back in time? Is it evolution or creation or ...? Will scientists ever make a man? Will we ever create artificial intelligence? If so, what does that say about my worth? What is the ultimate source of our intellectual malaise? Anthony Rizzi, a distinguished physicist, answers these questions and more. "What a terrific book!!...The time is now. Philosophers, scientists, and the educated reader will profit enormously from this book." --Ralph McInerny, University of Notre Dame philosophy professor, Gifford Lecturer "There is a pressing need for Anthony Rizzi's book, which reveals the link between science and man's deepest questions in a bold, clear and truthful way. His book is full of insights that readers will relish and want to read again and again to plumb their depths." --Marcus Grodi, host of The Journey Home, EWTN "The Science Before Science ...provides much needed perspective." --Joseph Martin, Chief Scientist, Planetary Science Lab (retired), Lockheed Martin Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Stuff I liked about this book:
The font is nice.
His ideas are consistent throughout the book.
Stuff I did not like:
Anthony Rizzi needs a better editor. There were a number of glaring spelling errors throughout the book, and he called THGTTG The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe. This is still not enough to give someone a one though, so I shall continue.
He uses his philosophy to foist the existence of God and angels upon reality. This guy is a physicist, so I figured it would be some kind of book about the limits of scientific knowledge, not some kind of Apologist letter championing the ideas of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas.
I thought physics was a science. This is what I was told back when I was a little kid. Now, isn't a science something where you use empirical data to prove things? Sure there are theoretical physicists, but they still learn all the math and stuff to find ideas that mesh with reality. Rizzi builds castles in the air by postulating the existence of supernatural things and then uses science against itself. Or so I believe.
So...that's pretty much it. I got to the point where he was talking about time dilation and special relativity.
I learned some things, but mostly that the Middle Ages weren't as backwards as I always thought they were. ( )
