About this title

From the Inside Flap:

In The God Theory, Bernard Haisch discards both scientific dogma and religious dogma and proposes a theory that provides purpose for our lives while at the same time is completely consistent with everything we have discovered about the universe and life on Earth. To wit, Newton was right -- there is a God -- and wrong -- this is not merely a material world. Haisch proposes that science will explain God and God will explain science.
