The Physics of God: How the Deepest Theories of Science Explain Religion and How the Deepest Truths of Religion Explain Science Paperback – October 1, 2021

Joseph Selbie writes, "At the heart of all religions you will find men and women who practiced a universally effective science of religion." He goes on to explain that he means the practice of disciplines that result in transcendent experience because they are consistent and repeatable therefore scientific. This means mystics and not far from mystics lies the essence of God. Specific repeatable practices lead to God. Who or what is Giod? read the book Mr. Selbie explains matter, quantic physics, neuroscience, reality, mind-power and how we get to God. As a student of world religions, I found this book to be exhilarating, easy to grasp and full of insights. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in reality, spirituality, mysticism and/or God itself.

This book is the best of its kind! My life has long been informed by a longing for both scientific and spiritual understanding. I've been deeply inspired by both the ideas and ideals of the spiritual masters, and the elegant beauty of the physical laws that govern our universe.Still, for me, there has been something of a chasm between the transcendent realities experienced in meditation and the rational understanding I’ve attained on how the universe works. This book has significantly helped to close that gap.Joseph Selbie offers a clear description of the difficult concepts of quantum physics such as nonlocality and entanglement, the need for an intelligent viewer, and the dimensions and branes posited by M-theory. Even more importantly to me, he has penetrated the deeper meaning and significance of these important subjects.Diving deep into the nature of reality, he has revealed an underlying unity that is in alignment with the transcendent ideals of the various religions of the world. Thank you, Mr. Selbie for sharing these lofty thoughts and ideas with the world.

Selbie does a beautiful job of building on the work of titan physicists, notably Plank, Heisenberg and Bohrs as well as others, who have posited a God Force, a Cosmic Conscious Mind, as a possible bridge between Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics. He delivers a masterful treatise, assembling and clearly presenting evidence from physics and spiritual practitioners to strongly support the thesis that God is the driving force in creating the physical/material world. He lays out a powerful case--summoning string theory--for the ultimate reality that lies behind the human experience.There are dismissive reviews on this site that claim bias in Selbie's book but fail to cite specifics. One is immediately reminded of the materialist scientists who fail on a key criterion of science, open-mindedness. Dogma and aversion to conflicting facts are disturbing traits in people who claim to be intellectual descendants of Newton.Buy this book. It will rock your view of the Godhead, reality and metaphysics. You will never be the same; you will be changed in a very profound and positive way.Charles F Schanie, PhD

There is nothing to dislike, other then my brain not able to understand it. I love a challenge.

I liked it but it was rather short and a bit one sided. Afterwards I realized that according to this book I AM RELIGIOUS!! Ha!!This is the first instance when I read a very detailed and somewhat scientific description of heaven. I was tickled. But the book lacked more substance. It was mostly quotes...

Superb writing and research wt clear connections and concepts. A Deep Dive Into How We Are Bridging Science & Spirituality!This book will be make a positive historical impact on humans moving into the new paradigm shift in higher consciousness.

The book explores a topic that has received too little attention from their respective, usually opposing camps: the apparent connection between quantum physics and very broadly-defined notion of spirituality (and, umm, God). Overall, a pretty decent read and a fairly compelling argument surrounding a very complex and controversial subject. But it could have been better. I was a bit put off -- and felt it tended to undermine undermined the thesis -- by the book's constant references to the commonalities of physics and the knowledge of preachings of 'saints, sages and mystics' and the like, as though their thinking was uniform and specific. I also felt it overstated the evidence a bit and sometimes used the complexity of quantum physics to stretch its conclusions farther than a more sophisticated reader would allow. It also relied on supportive quotes from famous scientists about their faith in a higher being without going deeper to explain who those scientists reached their conclusions (beyond a respect for the unknown).That said, the explanation of the quantum world is actually one of the clearest ones I've read because it relies (or rather has to rely, given its target audience -- educated readers with a solid understanding of basic physics -- and its theme) on recognizable analogies to explain and defend its thesis. Most of all, I would certainly love to see the kind of sophisticated discussion -- not really a debate -- that the book laments has not happened because of hubris in the scientific community. Was I convinced by the book? Not completely, mostly because I felt the conclusions it made were just a bit too aggressive for the evidence presented or too obscured among the complexities of the quantum world. But I'm now very eager to hear a face-to-face discussion by some of the scientists (or their living adherents) quoted in the book. That, according to the book, would require some additional good faith (ahem) effort by the scientific community.
