Of the world's seven billion inhabitants, it seems that over half identify with a faith which is Abrahamic. But why, and what does that really mean? Is there really any common ground between Christian and Muslim, Brahman and Jew? In this uniquely edutaining treatise by an ecosystems analyst gone Chassidic, Dr. Arnie Gotfryd explores legend and laboratory, philosophy and fact in an enlightening exploration of the interplay of modern science and traditional faith. Central to his theme is the notion that one elegant yet little-known concept, apparently developed by a child some 3,800 years ago, has engendered both those great solitudes: religion and science, and even today holds the key to their ultimate conciliation.
