Joseph Smith and Modern Astronomy

Rating:
Summary: A nice blend of science and religion
Review: The author of this book, Richard Ingrebretsen, does a fantastic job writing a book about both science and religion and how both and be correct! Usually science and religion are in a game of tug-of-war, with truth being the rope. The author's writing is so clear, it is easy for a novice of astronomy to understand the theory of relativity, the big bang, and even black holes. The book then goes into a religious aspect of these phenomena. And with the amount of degrees and education the author has, according to the introduction, I found his grasp on science credible. The book is quite short, so you and zip right through it. Even if you don't believe some of his conclusions, it is great reading.
