Have you ever wondered: "Why two diametrically opposite explanations of ourselves -- Religion and Science -- coexist?" As this book explains, the reason is, one explanation began before the other. The first explanation's development began thousands of years ago when our gradually evolving brains and minds awoke to an unknown, possibly threatening environment. Unfortunately, attempts to explain this strange environment were frustrated by illusions such as the apparent motion of the sun, moon and stars around the earth, which clouded our limited observational capability, such as our inability detect constant motion, thwarting the developing human mind's ability to correctly explain observations. These limitations ultimately led to a totally incorrect explanation: we reside in a very small, young, unchanging universe revolving about us, created by a supernatural being - God -- a belief system termed Religion.
About 500 years ago, the formulation of the second explanation was initiated when astute investigators such as Copernicus and Galileo, using improved new observation instruments such as the telescope and microscope, began to realize the existing illusion based religious explanations could not possibly be correct. Author Lawrence Wood introduces the brilliant investigators who resolved the illusions by developing radically new explanations of the illusions, an explanation system termed Science, many still cannot accept - hence, the coexistence of religion and science.
If you are one of those, trying to bridge the gulf between your religious beliefs which have become increasingly difficult to accept and the strange new world of science, this book will help you immeasurably!

The Transition from Religion to Science, traces the development of life from the single cell 3.9 bya, through life's tumultuous development to today's burgeoning planet with emphasis on the time period 1543 CE to the 1600s CE when astute observers realized the religious explanations of our surroundings developed over thousands of years severely conflicted with a new explanation based upon what we now call science, involving some of the most ground breaking and controversial discoveries produced by some of most brilliant minds whoever graced planet Earth - Many find unacceptable which leads to the religious- science controversy.

Evolution is one of the most controversial subjects known. Roughly six-in-ten U.S. adults (62%) agree that humans have evolved over time, but only a little more than half of them (33% of all Americans) express the belief that humans and other living things evolved solely due to natural4 processes. The same survey found that 34% of Americans reject evolution entirely, saying humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time. A moment's reflection will reveal that maintaining present form since the beginning of time is most unlikely.
