Jay Stephen Gould proposed a concept called Nonoverlapping Magesteria (NOMA). It keeps the sciences and faith separate, as it should be. Richard Dawkins doesn't think highly of the idea, but I wish scientists and apologists would abide by it. Yes I've heard of that! I do know certain Churches take that point of view, I've heard it as the official position of a number of Eastern Orthodox bishops and I thought Catholics were also on a similar page.

Actually what I recommend you do is look up a series of lectures by Feynman about QED. Search for "QED Feynman" in youtube and they will pop up. This will give you an idea about what quantum electrodynamics is all about and a lot more than Kaku is going to give you (although Kaku did write a textbook about QFT which isn't bad, but that is before he sold out. I don't find that his popular shows go nearly deep enough to give anybody a thorough conception of what is going on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
