The Physics of Christianity

The various processes presented by Tipler in this book allowed me to resolve the Unification Theory and Quantum Entanglement.Phenomenal depth of work.

Book arrived quickly and in good condition. Hard for me to understand physics explaination-- My Pastor was a physics major (read book after me) and said that author jumps to conclusions without carefully working through the premises.. So I do not think conclusions correct.. Was an interesting read for me-- explaining the immaculate conception as spontaneous egg fertilization-- like to certain animals-- which my Pastor said is not a logical conclusion....other explainations of resurrection of Christ-- (similiar to Star Wars moving of a man by molecule redistribution)-- End of world explaination related to computers sort of taking over our human responsiblities interesting.Still an interesting look at science- and I do believe God does work within HIS physical as well as spiritual laws-- but not sure we have enought information from science yet to understand in detail...

If you read for ideas Tippler is my favorite. R.E. Towne

I believe I am going to like all books by Frank J. Topler. There have been far too many FRANKS in my life. I just wonder if Mr. Tipler will be the last. He will be the most educated...for sure.

Should be read by believers and skeptics alike.

I really have to wonder how many believers would even take this work seriously, and I don't think Tipler would find much support from his fellow physicists. Dr. Tipler has no doubt that he can prove Christianity with his vast knowledge of math and physics.He must be appealing to a very small audience, because it would probably require a Ph. D. related to math and physics to be able to refute this man's explanations. As a layman, all I can do is to follow his ideas and take his word for all his formulas and scientific jargon. He claims Immanuel Kant had it wrong in his thoughts about our knowledge limitations. Tipler claims faith is not needed, and he delights me with the confidence he demonstrates in proving immortality, the resurrection of Christ, the second coming, etc. all based on his scientific proofs. Frankly, I have strong doubts about Tipler's claims , but I found the book to be a fascinating read, even though his concepts and scientific proofs are way above my head. As I was reading his Physics of Immortality, I began wonder if Tipler hadn't been the one to plant the thoughts into the creators of the Terminator series and/ or Space Odyssey 2001.Tipler is employed by Tulane University and I have no doubts many students would probably chose to be in his classes. Tipler is obviously widely read in philosophy, literature, all branches of the sciences. I am not questioning his credentials, because he shows brilliance and creativity in many of his thoughts, and the way he defends his concepts makes this work unique. In my humble opinion, Tipler could be another H.G. Wells if he was so inclined. At least, those were my thoughts while reading this book.

Frank Tipler's Omega Point cosmology equates God with the transcendent "singularity" (i.e., the initial and final boundary condition) required by all logically-possible, spatially-closed universes. An eschatology based on physics (specifically, the observationally-tested principles of general relativity, quantum mechanics, and the standard particle model) is an intriguing idea. Tipler goes too far with his religious speculations, however. I'd like to see him focus solely on the physics and perhaps find some synergism with Paul Davies' participatory multiverse concept.

tippler's thesis seems not too impressive. The idea that God is the Singularity at the heart of the Big Bang seems necessary but not sufficient. A more pertinent question might be whether consciousness is a property or a byproduct of the universe.
