Summary

Pickover Bridges the Gulf Between Logic, Spirit, Science, and Beligion in his latest, and arguably best, creation. In exploring the concept of omniscience. Pickover presents startling paradoxes that challenge our deepest notions about God while revealing both the awesome powers and limitations of omniscient beings. In Paradox, ideas, thought exercises, experiments, and practical analogies are used to explore what types of relationships we ordinary humans might have with an omniscient God. Pickover asserts that discussions on the supernatural are not beyond the domain of science. This is a groundbreaking notion, one which may forever alter how we think about the Bible, religion, God, and the universe. Through an inventive blend of science, history, theology, philosophy, science fiction, and mind-stretching brainteasers, Pickover unfolds the paradoxes of God like no other writer. Ultimately, he provides glimpses into the infinite, allowing us to think big and have daring, limitless dreams. Book jacket.
