“In this companion to A Christian Cosmology, Dr. Valerie Mike introduces the reader to the comprehensive vision of physicist-theologian Richard J. Pendergast, S.J ., in a historical perspective that testifies to the compatibility of faith and reason, science and religion. A mathematical scientist, Dr. Mike was a witness and participant in the advent of the Age of Information. Her work, informed by the application of statistics to medicine, and by the Ethics of Evidence approach to understanding the world, brings philosophical realism to the existential and scientific uncertainty of our day. Seeking the truth, using the best available methods in each and every discipline, Dr. Mike addresses the irreducible nature of uncertainty, to overcome the ignorance, deception, reductionism, and fear of the unknown that are so endemic to our age. The book is invaluable as a guide preparing the heart and mind to enter into a post-secular age.”
