"'Science Mike' draws on his personal experience to tell the unlikely story of how science led him back to faith. Among other revelations, we learn what brain scans reveal about what happens when we pray, how fundamentalism affects the psyche, and how God is revealed not only in scripture, but in the night sky, in subatomic particles, and in us"--Dust jacket flap.

Finding God in the Waves

I found the story portion of the book (Part 1) much more engaging than Part 2. As is often the case, I think the value lies in seeing his personal journey and how he worked through things.

Part 2 was interesting for seeing where he landed at the time of publishing. Those ideas weren’t new (or shocking) to me, but I felt they were starting to bleed into the realm of faith. Personally, I don’t think you can explain and have an answer for everything, but that really doesn’t bother me. I’m probably lower on some theoretical level of unknowability discomfort. I actually think this is just what you get when a science nerd is an Enneagram 9.

Getting to the foundation of things is super important, and it was interesting to see his process/axioms, which I could see being incredibly helpful for people who relate to his journey.

Resonated with things I’ve felt for years. So glad that he’s shared this journey. Thank you MM.
