Columbia Univers. Press Rolston, H: Three Big Bangs

Matter-Energy, Life, Mind. Rational explanations of the universe leave the spiritually curious cold, and religiously based theories tend to devalue the findings of science. By dividing the creation of matter, life, energy, and the mind into three big bangs, Holmes Rolston III strikes a middle path between these two camps. He divines a history of the universe that respects both scientific discovery and an underlying intelligence.
