God at the Speed of Light: The Melding of Science and Spirituality

by T. Lee Baumann

To whichever end of the spectrum your beliefs gravitate-toward spirituality or science-the universe is an astonishing place. But what if our increasing knowledge in both science and spirituality is pointing us all in the same direction? The author makes a convincing case for exactly that premise-that spirituality and quantum physics are, in fact, two sides of the same the presence of a guiding intelligence in the universe, the presence of God. Drawing upon the latest information on near-death experiences, quantum physics, biblical interpretation, and even the mysterious nature of light, Baumann paints a picture of what may well be the true nature of our universe.

Definitely a book I want to reread but one I also recommend to those questioning the existence of God and the need for belief. It’s also a fun read for those interested in physics yet never so much as stepped into a high school physics class (I took chem and copied homework and quiz answers from two pals). The quantum theories used are as dumbed down as possible yet still difficult to recall off the cuff. But I doubt that’s the fault of the author, and more the cause of my own lack of understanding in the realm of physical science. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is the odd way in which he referenced sources. It was sort of casual and seemed to be the author saying “There! An expert opinion!”. Still, reputable sources, just odd the way he included them.

I always like the melding of science and spirituality (God and the New Physics was my first). This was pretty good, and the first book to make me question the validity of evolution for the first time in my 6 years. OTH, it was just a step beyond what I was quite ready to accept on the nature of God (from a non-Christian)

Fascinating melding of science and religion when understanding some of the nature of G-d.

Interesting book. The author provides evidence in support of a Creator or designing force in the universe. His Christian bias is apparent, but does not reduce the logic in a number of the arguments.
