\"Science and spirituality are both integral parts of the human search for truth and meaning; they provide us possible paths of comprehending and appreciating the vast cosmos and our place in it,\" he writes. <\/p>\n
In a Washington Post review of the book, MIT professor and physicist Alan Lightman said he used to find books like Aczel's \"a terrible waste of calories,\" but he has changed his mind. <\/p>\n
\"I now believe that the discussions of science and religion, even the attempts of one side to disprove the other, are part of the continuing and restorative conversation of humanity with itself,\" he writes. <\/p>\n
