About book War Of The Worldviews: The Struggle Between Science And Spirituality (2011)
I found this book a painful example of an unnecessary conflict among Science and Spirituality. My basic arguement for Spirituality begins and ends with that it works. To try to justify it with proof is much to far beyond our current understanding of physics. Deepak tries to argue that the second law of thermodynamics has it all wrong, and that the universe has been moving toward order rather than disorder as that law states. Leonard refutes Deepak's claim, but the whole argument reads as hollow as it is.Deepak then makes an argument against natural selection, going to the creationist claim of irreducible complexity. Time and time against this has been shown to be a hollow claim, as every biological function when intensely study has shown to be reducible. Yet Leonard has to spend a whole essay defending the obvious.I wish instead of a "war" they tried instead to emphasis the common grounds of there world views. This would have been better to drive forward both of their views, however it probably would not have sold as well in an America that wants winners and losers. I enjoyed this thought-provoking dialog between Deepak Chopra and Leonard Mlodinow. In the book each author takes turns answering a question about the cosmos, life, the mind and brain, and God. I enjoyed the way the essays took on the character of a conversation, as each man responded to the other. Whether you are a spiritual seeker, scientific skeptic, or a bit of both, I think you will enjoy stretching your perception with the assistance of these two divergent worldviews.
