Having one foot in the religious world and the other in the scientific can be as precarious as attempting to remain astride two logs in a river.

It discuses topics from Jesus and family values, evangelists who arrive at your door, discrimination and racism, and the dark side for religion, to delicate balances impacting us and the world, climate change, the pandemic, and how ancient structures like Stonehenge and the pyramids could have been built for science. The study then turns to theological implications of scientific theories, including relativity and quantum. Sure to ruffle the feathers of some from both sides, the examination focuses on how scientific paradigms fail to cohere with traditional theological doctrines and presents the potentially uncomfortable view that scientific revolutions might warrant a corresponding revolution for theology itself.
