Synopsis

Is your worldview enlightened enough to accommodate both science and God at the same time?<br/>Dr. Michael Guillen, a best-selling author, Emmy award-winning journalist and former physics instructor at Harvard, used to be an Atheist--until science changed his mind. Once of the opinion that people of faith are weak, small-minded folks who just don't understand science, Dr. Guillen ultimately concluded that not only does science itself depend on faith, but faith is actually the mightiest power in the universe.<br/><br/>In Believing Is Seeing, Dr. Guillen recounts the fascinating story of his journey from Atheism to Christianity, citing the latest discoveries in neuroscience, physics, astronomy, and mathematics to pull back the curtain on the mystery of faith as no one ever has.<br/><br/>Is it true that 'seeing is believing?' Or is it possible that reality can be perceived most clearly with the eyes of faith--and that truth is bigger than proof? Let Dr. Guillen be your guide as he brilliantly argues for a large and enlightened worldview consistent with both God and modern science.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Why is believing so powerful?

Nowadays, beliefs rule the day. “Personal truth” is more important than “the truth.” In one study, more than 91 percent of the respondents couldn’t tell the difference between opinion and fact. For them, in other words, opinions are facts and beliefs are truth.

In Believing is Seeing, former ABC News Science Editor and Harvard physics instructor Dr. Michael Guillen explains how every aspect of the human experience, from science to religion, is powered by one thing: faith.

That includes your worldview. Powered by faith—by beliefs you can’t prove—it dictates how you see everything and everyone, all the time. Believing is seeing.

Are your beliefs true or untrue? Is your faith enlightened or misguided? The answers to those questions reveal whether your current worldview is dangerous or dependable. As Dr. Guillen explains in the pages of this book, what you believe is not just a matter of what’s true or not true; it’s a matter of life and death.
