Choosing Jesus And Science: How Scientific Findings Reveal God's Handiwork (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798667379720)

"a must-read for students and scientists unfamiliar with recent advances in cellular molecular biology." -Tom Breuer, Ph.D., Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Making the right choice.

With almost fifty years working in medical and biochemical sciences, publishing more than 140 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and currently serving as director of 25 reference and research laboratories, Jim Pirkle certainly understands and advances science.

He also has faith in God-a belief bolstered by scientific findings.

"The more we know from science, the more God is revealed especially as we examine the complexity and interdependencies of creation at the molecular level."

Though some believe that faith in Jesus and science can conflict, Dr. Pirkle contends that the opposite is the case-scientific findings consistently reveal God's handiwork. This revelation of God at the molecular level keeps expanding as we see more and more complexity and interdependency in protein function, the roles of nucleic acids, gene interactions, glycobiology, lipidomics, protein interactions (the Interactome) and molecular feedback and control loops.

He reviews two important areas of current discussion: Neo-Darwinism and the fine-tuning of the universe for life on Earth.

His weight-of-evidence evaluation of Neo-Darwinism includes: life originating from non-life, within-kind adaptation (microevolution), and between-kind adaptation (macroevolution). His review of the fine-tuning of the universe examines multiple extreme requirements for the nature of matter, galaxy clusters, the Milky Way, our solar system, the sun, and the Earth in order for life to exist on Earth.

Further, Dr. Pirkle explains how we are the best evidence for God. God explains what our lives will be like if we choose to follow Him or if we do not. Pirkle maintains that we can look at our own lives and find a close match to what God says.

Jim Pirkle MD, PhD, received his medical degree with a specialty in clinical pathology and his PhD in physical chemistry from Emory University and has spent 47 post-collegiate years working on hundreds of studies in medical and biochemical sciences. He is currently director of 25 reference and research laboratories addressing disease and harmful exposures in populations. During his career in public health, Pirkle has authored or coauthored more than 140 publications in peer-reviewed, scientific journals focusing on the diagnosis and prevention of disease and harmful exposures in populations.

"Anyone struggling with the reasons for human life as portrayed by science and a belief in a Creator God will find this a remarkable volume which builds faith in God and purpose for life." -Donald G. Patterson Jr, PhD Organic Chemistry Arizona State University; PhD Environmental Science "honoris cavsa" Stockholm University
