Science Deepens Faith

A SCIENTIST's JOURNEY THROUGH LOVE AND LOSS - TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHY GOD ALLOWS DISEASE AND OTHER EVILS TO EXIST In his new autobiography/help guide, Science Deepens Faith, Thomas McAvoy describes the little-known cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei, that eventually claimed the life of his wife, Jessie, and the steps he took to research the disease, in hopes of finding a cure. After diagnosis the couple took to their faith in God to prepare for what lay ahead in this disease, only to discover that few scientific studies were published on it. Sadly, Jessie succumbed to her cancer, creating a devastating loss for Thomas, their family and friends. However, Thomas' push to remember Jessie's legacy motivated him to continue researching her cancer and learn ways to cure it for others. Science Deepens Faith provides readers not only an uplifting account of Jessie's life and legacy, but also informs them about the journey in studying pseudomyxoma peritonei Thomas embarked on that led to new understandings and solution developments for the disease. Science Deepens Faith also discusses the insight Thomas gained through studying science about why evil and diseases such as cancer exist in our world and how looking critically into such subjects as the Big Bang, astronomy, evolution, physics and scripture provides an answer to this question. The discussion in the book about reconciling faith and science agrees with the opinion of famous scientists: "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein "A little science estranges men from God, but much science leads them back to Him." Louis Pasteur "Any faith that admires truth, that strives to know God, must be brave enough to accommodate the universe." Carl Sagan Science Deepens Faith will help strengthen readers' faith and help them appreciate that faith and science are not in conflict."
