He illustrates his argument with an array of thought-provoking stories, such as the remarkable migratory flight of a small bird called the red knot; the long, glorious glide of the Comet Hyakutake across the night sky; a hilarious alien abduction that didn't happen. Together, they are compelling evidence that religion should embrace the reliable knowledge of the world that science provides, while at the same time science should respect and nourish humankind's need for spiritual sustenance. \"Miracles are explainable,\" Raymo paraphrases the writer Tim Robinson, \"it is the explanations that are miraculous.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone drawn to reflect on life's meaning and purpose, Chet Raymo's uncompromising skepticism and reverence for mystery will affirm and inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Walker Books","offers":[{"title":"Skeptics and True Believers: The Exhilarating Connection Between Science and Religion | Chet Raymo | Paperback | 9780802775641 | Used: Very Good | Science \u0026 Math 1688497","offer_id":50719589368066,"sku":"1688497","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71DDKP4NFqL.jpg?v=1791800008","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/skeptics-and-true-believers-the-exhilarating-connection-between-science-and-religion","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
