Review of No Greater Faith than that of Science

[Following is a volunteer review of "No Greater Faith than that of Science" by Manuel S. Vergara.]
There has always been a conflict between those who pursue modern knowledge, science, and development and those who believe in faith, spirituality, and religion. There's a prevalent misconception that it either has to be this or that, but through this book, 'No Greater Faith than that of Science,' Manuel S. Vergara has encouraged the readers to consider everything from a new and dual perspective.
If you look at it closely, science and spirituality are just two sides of the same coin. Spirituality believes in experiences while science tries to explain the experiences. Neither should dismiss the other.
The Universe in itself is strange, strangely beautiful, and incredible, and we are all but tiny specks of its vastness, so while the pursuit of explanation is necessary, it doesn't need to be all-encompassing because truth be told, we do have a limited vision and idea of the world- only as we know it. The author here has portrayed how even the greatest of scientists believed in a higher power, believed that some things cannot be explained, not because of lack of trying but due to the very nature of it.
Ultimately, faith runs the discourse, you can either have faith in science or have faith in your faith, but when everything is said and done, we are all after all the creation of our mothers and whoever the creator is, so our science isn't entirely our own as well.
The author has divided the entire book into 6 chapters, with proper explanations and diagrams, it surely creates an informative reading experience. I'd rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. I did not have any specific dislike about the book whatsoever.
