Published surveys show that about 40 per cent of scientists believe in a personal God. But why do women and men who are highly educated in the area of science believe in a God who not only answers prayers but also performs miracles? John Ashton has gathered a group of 50 scientists and academics who each explain their reasons for believing in God. Their contributions reveal a breadth of experience about how to make sense of life and show that there is more to existence than our tangible, lived experience - the "God Factor".

The God Factor: 50 Scientists and Academics Explain Why They Believe in God

HarperCollins, Publishers

Clearly written and comprehensive, The Perils of Progress uses the latest scientific research to challenge our society's largely unquestioning commitment to new technologies. While these have no doubt brought many benefits, the authors argue that our confidence in them is seriously misplaced--in some cases dangerously so. The authors consider a vast array of health and environmental issues including: the damaging effects on human health of certain microwaves, including those from mobile phones and television transmission towers; the effects of aluminium in food and other consumer products; the evidence that the trans-polyunsaturated acids formed in most margarines during manufacture may be more detrimental to health than butter. Each chapter ends with a positive and empowering "What You Can Do" section.
