Pillars of Creation - Flaig, Scott

. .

Résumé :
This book, gives brief explanations to cosmic mysteries, refering to them as the fundamental base for getting at the real mysteries in cosmology. By researching the best minds from philosophy, science, and theology, Scott takes us to the next step.. How was the universe created? Or are we in a multiverse? What or Who brought us from the beginning to now? Entropy - Divine intervention - Determinism How will it all end for us? for Earth? for the sun? for our universe? Did humans evolve? Who was Adam? Intelligent Design or is it intelligent design? Is time an illusion? What is the nature of time? Can the past, present, and future exist simultaneously? Can we travel to the past? the future? Not, are we alone; but rather, Contact- Now What? Space travel: Real or fantasy What is this new holistic model, the new world view?

Biographie:
Scott Flaig is a retired industry operations senior executive who served Dell Computer, Iomega Corporation, and Xerox. He was also a partner at the firm of Ernst & Young. After retirement, Scott taught a course on the Virtual Enterprise [his new paradigm for operations excellence] at the Kellogg School of Business, Northwestern University. Scott graduated with a BS in Mathematics from the University of Dubuque. He has his certification in operations strategy from Harvard's Business School's Executive summer program. Scott has been married 51 years to Sandy. They have three children and six grandchildren, all who live in New England. Over the past 12 years, Scott has again focused on his passion for cosmology, and how cosmology is fundamental to understanding the mysteries of creation, life, and our place in the universe. His first book, Cosmology: Faith and Science Reveal Universal Truth was published in 2013. Scott has served as a lecturer, FGCU faculty Instructor and writer. He has lectured across the spectrum of astronomy societies, churches, community organizations, and the past two years at the Chautauqua Institute. His commitment as a Christian and his academic theological curriculum at the University of Dubuque (a Presbyterian affiliation) has kept him grounded in what's important in life. He also understands the contribution that religion has made to the subject of cosmology and its mysteries. Science and faith together, along with the invaluable insights taken from philosophy, gives this book a unique place in the library of cosmology and understanding-or what Scott calls, holistic cosmology. Typically books on this topic give academic insights into questions like: What is dark energy and dark matter? What is this God Particle? What are gravitational waves? What is the Big Bang and the inflationary universe? And so on. Other books tie faith and science together as synergistic and affirmations of each other. They make terrific contributions in gaining insights into God's creation....
