ABOUT THE BOOK: ** PERFECTION and IMPERFECTION in the Universe? ** GOODNESS and EVIL in our World? ** Dr. Michael Walsh (mathematician/philosopher, Trinity College Dublin) has pondered for many years these two great topics and has done extensive research into them. He provides a wide-ranging analysis of the legacy of many great thinkers - Aristotle, Plato, Aquinas, Newton, Michelangelo, Leibniz, Darwin, Heisenberg, G?del, Einstein, Penrose, Hawking - all from the illuminating perspective of perfection/imperfection, goodness/ evil.** Dr. Walsh outlines the need for an entirely new intellectual framework and vocabulary for the debate of these important topics. He concludes that neither science nor religion offer satisfying methodologies or any convincing answers. Religion has a problem in explaining evil and science has a problem in explaining goodness. In physical creation and in life, imperfection abounds and perfection plays no ostensible role. An entirely different starting point is needed. ** The book identifies the fundamental boundaries of science, and argues for a much wider vision. It does not argue for the existence of a God, but it shows the clear necessity for a guiding force acting from outside of space and time and thus beyond the reach of scientific analysis. Many scientists now accept this need - even some physical phenomena clearly belong to the metaphysical. ** The presence of evil and imperfection does not necessarily imply lack of purpose or design or the absence of a Creator, they can be part of a purposeful strategy of creation. The extraordinary trajectory of the universe to date indicates a journey with purpose and destination, albeit zig-zag with plenty of accidents along the way. A bold new model is proposed. Imperfection is identified in the book as the Workshop of Creation. In this workshop the tiger was forged. ** YOU-TUBE VIDEO - http://youtu.be/GGJM3yiihy0 ** WEBSITE: www.immperfection.com
