 A good read in every sense of the word, 2009-03-30
This down to earth survey of one man's reasons for faith is light and
fun to read but also profound and enlightening. This is the ideal book for anyone who would like to know what it is that Catholics believe and, in the present climate of mistrust, why that should makes sense to many people. The author is an astronomer and writing from the point of view of a "techie" as he calls it, a member of the scientific community. It is also a great book for catholics, to remind them of things they have been taking for granted. I shall be buying copies for all my children.

Is the divorce between science & religion necessary? No!, 2001-07-12
This is a book I had been meaning to purchase for some time. The reviews talked about how Brother Consolmagno was able to reconcile religion and science, making them non-exclusive. This was something I really wanted to hear.Be aware, this is only part of the book. The book is divided into 3 parts... Biography and work on the origin of meteorites, Religion & Science, and meteorite hunting in Antarctica. While all 3 parts are interesting it was the second part that I found most interesting, and, consequentially, is quite marked up with notes and underlines now! Brother Consolmagno devotes many pages to an expository analysis of the trial of Galileo, the events leading up to it, other historic astronomers, and the Catholic Church's involvement in science, astronomy in particular. The results are enlightening! We tend to judge these events based on our 21st century norms, rather than taking time to understand what the world was like then and what the prevailing wisdom and scientific theories were. Consolmagno's opinion is that science and religion are both seeking truth. If there is 'true truth' then there is no reason that a schism should exist between the two. I heartily recommend this enlightening book to all.

 Basic science - for an understanding of God's universe, 1999-03-31
This appealing, highly readable book does not, as I anticipated, discuss in great detail a religious view of science, nor a scientific view of religion. Instead it presents key aspects of relativity and the quantum and wave theories of light, in a way that makes sense to readers with very little exposure to advanced physics or mathematics. The trick is that it approaches the subject from the perspective of one who understands and cares about the challenges science often seems to pose for devout Christians. Along the way, it becomes clear that there is neither any real conflict, nor any great interdependence, between the physicist's view of the universe and that of mainstream Christianity. The conversational, sometimes humorous style helps the reader concentrate on an inherently difficult subject. Brother Guy's approach does not give the reader all the answers, by any means - but it provides an outstanding basis for educated discussion.
