Astrophysicist Dr. Bernard Haisch bridges the divide between science and spirituality with theories outlined in his new book 'The God Theory.'
The God Theory:
"The idea goes back to one of the founders of modern astrophysics, Sir James Jeans, who wrote that the universe seemed to him to be more like a great thought than like a great machine. Well, whose great thought might that be? So I start with the concept of a supreme intelligence that has to be completely consistent with the Big Bang, evolution and other scientific knowledge. The God Theory then includes a very logical and compelling reason for why such a supreme intelligence would create universes in the first place: to transform infinite potential into experience. The experiences of the life forms (such as human beings) possible in the many different universes become the experience of the supreme intelligence. We are all sparks of God, experiencing his/her creativity. This has nothing to do with intelligent design: God does not need to microengineer or micromanage the evolution of life forms. The ideas of God are the basic laws of physics and the associated physical constants." --

Science & Spirituality
Astrophysicist Dr. Bernard Haisch presented his views which offer a bridge between science and spirituality. Arguing that the universe was brought about by an "infinite intelligence," he believes this intelligence's purpose is to experience and enrich itself through its various aspects and life forms. Further, we are not disconnected from this intelligence, but a part of it, he said.
