God, the Science, the Evidence is the result of nearly four years of research involving over twenty scientists and renowned specialists. It presents the most up-to-date evidence for the existence of God. For more than four centuries, the combined discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo, Darwin, Freud, and others, created the illusion that the Universe could be explained without a creator God. As a result, materialism became the dominant worldview by the beginning of the twentieth century.

A “landmark book” (Robert J. Sternberg, president of the American Psychological Association) by one of the world's preeminent psychologists that proves human behavior is not “hard-wired” but a function of culture."

First there was the genetic revolution—the discovery that physical structures in the cell, including DNA and RNA, shape every organism. Now, says evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, we are overdue for another and more profound revolution. Recent findings reveal that genetic and even epigenetic sources alone cannot account for the rich dynamism of life—not even close. Some other informational source is required.

"The Way" integrates religion and science and reconciles Eastern and Western worldviews, confirming with the mystics and the scientists that everyone is related, and everything is connected. This book recognizes the perennial philosophy that underlies many spiritual traditions. The book has a "theory of everything" feel to it. Like a TED talk, it is deeply personal with broadly universal themes. The author narrates it.

Drawing intriguing parallels between the present era of quantum physics and past episodes of scientific confusion, Beyond the Quantum tells the story of how pilot-wave theory was discovered and abandoned, revived and reconstructed, and how today it can pave the way to a new and radical physics beyond the quantum.
