"Who seeing the stunning order in networks linking tens upon tens of thousands of variables can fail to entertain a central thought: If ever we are to attain a final theory in biology, we will surely have to see that we are the natural expressions of a deeper order. Ultimately, we will discover in our creation myth that we were expected after all." - Stuart Kauffman "Exhilarating photographs and inspiring words take us on a microscopic tour of miraculous phenomena - within the human body and elsewhere - leading to a sense that our existence in no accident. This photographic journey into inner space utilizes microscopic imagery to document the beautiful and mysterious realm of the tiniest components of human life - brain waves, nerve endings, cell structures, acid crystals - revealing a symmetry, a perfection, and, ultimately, a revelation. It also delves into the darker side of viruses, cancers, and other seemingly evil presences - naturally evoking the question of why evil exists. From creation to destruction to transcendent images, the book takes a journey into areas beyond our everyday perception. Illuminating quotes from the finest literary and scientific minds - Pasteur, Tolstoy, Einstein, St. Augustine, Thoreau, Darwin, just to name a few - support the idea that science may prove to be a path to God and that the human brain itself, through what researchers are now calling its "spirituality circuit," is wired to lead us to that path. With an introduction by Wall Street Journal science editor Sharon Belgely, Inside the Mind of God promises to provide further insight into the abiding question: Why is there something rather than nothing?".
