Walker Percy, novelist & physician, says of Edward McCrady's SEEN & UNSEEN: "His approach to a recalculation of science is decidely unfashionable, sorely needed, & quite fascinating." While many scientists agree our material order originated in a big bang millions of years ago, those same scientists are not necessarily willing to discern a creator behind that big bang. McCrady, embryologist & college professor, takes the idea of creation seriously, pursuing its implications. Creation implies a creator, & McCrady asks whether we can come to know something concrete about that creator by looking at the handiwork we call the universe. Many thinkers have pursued similar arguments regarding order. What sets McCrady's discussion apart is the tantalizing suggestion that we possess clues concerning where the order of human evolution is leading us. Whether one takes his conclusions as poetic meditations of a scientist who also happens to be a Christian or whether one takes the conclusions as genuine possibilites will be determined by one's perspective. SEEN & UNSEEN: A BIOLOGIST VIEWS THE UNIVERSE gives an intimate glimpse of a scientist's sincerest probings during the period twentieth century science called to question some of humanity's fondest assumptions regarding its origin & destination.McCrady, Edward, III is the author of 'Seen and Unseen A Biologist Views the Universe' with ISBN 9780918769169 and ISBN 0918769167.
