'Official Review: No Greater Faith than that of Science' by Manuel S. Vergara vividly sketches out the contents of the non-fiction book. It reflects on the main thoughts of the book. The author's work appreciates the beauty and importance of science and spirituality. Science and religion share similarities and can coexist. The book also argues that the theories of evolution and creation do not conflict. It was great to learn that the author includes pictures and several illustrations that explain his points better!

The belief that science can coexist with religion is a complex one. Which religion are we referring to? Additionally, we cannot equate God's logic with human logic; that is why it is called faith. However, perhaps with more advanced scientific knowledge, we may gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm. Thank you for your review!

I have always thought that religion and science could coexist. Some of the things that seem unexplained can be accounted for.

The review is informative and provide both sides of the book. This kind of discussion I tend to avoid. I really didn't find that science may provide me with anything new related to spirituality. May be vice versa. So i will skip. Hope it reaches the right audience. Congrats on BOTD

The book’s balanced arguments and historical references emphasize how these two realms can complement each other. While some scientific illustrations may be challenging for readers without a scientific background, the overall message remains insightful and thought-provoking. Thank you for sharing your review!

Despite the scholarly dispute that seems to exist between science and religion, there are a whole lot of things that science cannot explain which gives faith the platform. In today's BOTD "No Greater Faith than that of Science" by Manuel S. Vergara, the author agrees to this submission.

Manuel S. Vergara, in his book "No Greater Faith than that of Science", seeks to show that the two seemingly conflicting beliefs in the religious and scientific explanations of existence can and do coexist.

The reviewer does a great job summarizing the main points that the author wanted to convey. Additionally, the review highlights the author’s use of diagrams and illustrations to clarify his arguments. The reviewer points out, however, that some of these diagrams, for example, the complex scientific ones, were unnecessary additions to the book and might repel potential readers. The book gets a high rating as the reviewer feels that, despite a few challenges, it is engaging with convincing arguments.

Great job done highlighting the positives of the book as well as showing its limitations. This review will assist potential readers to determine whether or not to make it their choice.

 "No Greater Faith than that of Science" by Manuel S. Vergara delves into the coexistence of science and religion. Like the author, I believe in God, the creator of all and the source of our knowledge. This belief in a higher power underscores the importance of faith, a key theme in this educational and thought-provoking book. It was a pleasure to read this informative review.

Post by Bettny Andrade »

Science and spirituality must always go hand in hand, since many of the things that happen in an inexplicable way, under another light or seen in another way, at a quantum physics level are clearly explained and determined, because the results depend on the eye of the observer. This book is a great reading option.

It must be a very convincing read for the reviewer to state that a 106 pages book will “solve” the conflict between science and religion. I know stating the number of pages was discouraged in reviews but it is a convincing way to encourage those uninterested in the topic. I am, however, a firm believer that science and religion were based on the same source & will definitely check this out.

This is a definite read for me, I believe is both science and god and indeed believe that both can co exist. Based on the review it seems as if the author included thought provoking concepts which I am eager to explore and for that to be done in a 106 page book is really interesting. I will be back when I complete the book.

invites you to be curious like a child to ask yourself simple things like why certain things touch the soul music, poetry, a sunset and to use science to understand everyday phenomena such as gravity or chemical reactions Basically, it says that there is nothing wrong with it marvel at the world, but we can also look for explanations.
