A book review of:

   Science Without Bounds
           by Art D'Adamo
  Book Review Highlights:
  • Is there a place where science and religion meet?
  • This book records one man's search for ultimate truth.
 



A synthesis of science, religion and mysticism.

   When Art D'Adamo was 22, he yearned for a way to make sense of the world and his place in it. Years of religious training made his religion, with its guilt and irrationality, distasteful to him. Science, with its powerful way of knowing, was much more to his liking.

   The problem was that science ignored the questions which interested him while religion addressed them.

What is my place in the world?

   Where have I come from? Where am I going? What is my purpose and the purpose of life? These questions intrigued and absorbed him.

   As the years went by, a world view coalesced in his mind, a view which embraces science's logic and dedication to truth with religion's quest  for ultimate answers.

   Art D'Adamo compares New York City to truth. Imagine, he says, there are official keepers of the "Truth" about New York City. These people know New York City by the books they've read. They've selected a list of books which are "true" about New York and harmonized disagreement among the books by various means.

   But anyone who actually travels to New York City will see things which do not agree with the books, and the keepers of the "truth" are likely to be intolerant of this disagreement.

   In Science Without Bounds, Art D'Adamo recounts his attempts to find the real New York City—the place where reason and ultimate truth reside in harmony. Readers of Gary Zukav or Lynne McTaggart are likely to appreciate this book, as well as the integrity of Art D'Adamo's search for truth.

   Perhaps his quest will help you. For that reason he has posted his book online. Downloading is free. It is his gift to anyone who may find it helpful.


From Science Without Bounds:

--"…many things promote experience of the Eternal. These things are like knocking at a locked door. The knocking doesn't, in and of itself, unlock and open the door. It does, however, show we want the door opened. Until we knock, there is no reason for anyone to open the door."

--"To science no fact is insignificant when it contradicts belief. In every case, belief must make way for fact…[When explanations disagree] scientists acknowledge that simple fact, instead of ignoring and hiding it, like a scandal."

--"…character marks how far a consciousness has progressed in its journey toward conscious reunion with the Eternal."

--"Science doesn't address the whole human being… Science gives us much to know and do, but little to love."

--"'The work of the Church ends when the knowledge of God begins.'" --Art D'Adamo quoting Coventry Patmore.
