A Chapter by Chapter Overview
Chapter 1: Introduction
The introduction establishes the context and ground rules used in developing a new and unique model for the creation of the universe. Paramount is the overarching principle that the model is biblically based and scientifically fashioned (don’t worry, the math and physics are elementary and can be read-around). A prime motivator for the model is the import of humanity for defining and understanding our existence.
Chapter 2: The Model
The model is a straightforward concept—however, the ramifications and applications of it are considerable. In this chapter, we define the model and then begin to expand on the simple model, including a means to visualize the model—an essential tool for any model and used throughout the book.
Chapter 3: Model Corollaries and Rules
Corollaries and rules are essential for a model. They further define and restrict the model to ensure the applications and implications derived are appropriate and valid.
Chapter 4: Seeing God in Nature
In this chapter, we begin in earnest the integration of science and religion. The first step in this process is to identify how science can reveal God in nature. One of the great, but to date, not well-understood phenomena of science—the double-slit experiment—is used to demonstrate the limits of human knowledge. It is these very limits that help us integrate science and religion.
Chapter 5: Spirituality—Living the Dream
This chapter completely breaks the mold of creation theories and models and fully integrates science and religion. It is an extensive chapter that puts some meat on the bones of spirituality—the basis of human existence. As part of this development, we use the implications of the double-slit experiment (the dual nature of existence) to propose and develop a concept to account for humanity’s spiritual presence. Importantly, the concept identifies how humanity has a relationship with God.
Chapter 6: Implications, Applications, and Predictions
With the model fully developed, we use it to discuss some incredible implications and applications dealing with humanity’s existence. We also use the model for some appropriate and enlightening predictions.
Chapter 7: Conclusion
With such a unique model for creation, we briefly look at the major concepts developed throughout the book. Additionally, we take a look at where we can go with such a model and discuss the possibility of a scientific and spiritual revival—or, what we could call, a scientifically based spiritual revival.
