Imagination, the Stars, Common Sense and God: A Perspective on Life - Conclusions After 80 Years in Its Grip

Dr. Ron Maddison was fortunate to live during a time of great scientific discovery. His years spent studying and working as an astronomer and physicist shaped his view of the world. Through this collection of essays, Dr. Maddison urges readers to get rid of the outdated belief that God controls the world and instead embrace Truth, which can be established by modern science. By embracing science, Dr. Maddison hopes that the world can unite to tackle two of its most pressing problems: global warming and overpopulation.
