Science has been hugely successful in giving us material benefits. So successful that many intelligent people believe it also gives us the best picture of ultimate reality. Unfortunately, that picture is a cosmic bummer: a mechanical universe ruled by laws that care nothing about the human heart. The essays in this book don't question the value of science. In fact, they push its critical thinking further than most scientists are used to. They reflect on how science is actually done in the real world of mortgages and peer pressure, and on how scientific knowledge is related to ultimate reality. They also go places our most educated and well-respected citizens generally don't. Refusing to stop at border crossings or check points, these essays roam coyote-like over the terrain not only of science, but of philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, myth, religion, the supernatural, and our own direct experience of the world. In doing so, they explore a paradox: The idea of a universe devoid of magic may itself be a kind of spell. --The Science Spell is Volume 1 of the series "Making Belief: Essays Towards a Natural, Magical, Intelligent Faith." Chris Spark's "Making Belief" essay series gives readers perspective on the ways our culture has conditioned us to feel divided and confused, buffeted by competing ideas about existence. Readers will discover in them a harmony, a way to feel part of a coherent, meaningful cosmos-one in which Western civilization is only one of many stars.
