Believe and See: A Scientist's Journey from Atheism to Faith

In the world of science there are many phenomena that seem incredible, but we are forced to believe in them. Concepts like the wave-particle duality of light challenge our usual understanding of reality. We can’t see dark matter, even though, according to scientists, it makes up 90% of the mass of the Universe. The Big Bang is another example: nobody witnessed it, but science relies on its traces as the foundation of modern cosmology.

Physicist, former Harvard professor, and long-time science journalist Michael Gillon writes in his book about how discoveries in quantum physics and astronomy shook his belief that everything in the world can be explained by the scientific method—and led him to Christianity. He looks at different aspects of science and religion, shows how our beliefs shape the way we perceive reality, and invites readers to reflect on how science and faith can complement each other in the search for truth.
