THIS IS THE BOOK RICHARD DAWKINS DOESN'T WANT YOU TO READ
In this revolutionary and provocative book called "ground-breaking" by some, award-winning MIT grad David A. Shiang claims final answers to many of humankind's most enduring mysteries.
He shows how worry and regret can be eliminated through the use of memory, following in the footsteps of T.S. Eliot and other pioneers of the mind. He argues that Einstein was right in rejecting the randomness of quantum theory, revealing the false logic of physicists such as Brian Greene.
Leaving no stone unturned, he takes on brights such as Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett, showing beyond a shadow of a doubt that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection does not qualify as science. Shiang's model for science comes from Carl Sagan, and Dawkins' ideas don't measure up.
Odds are high that the logical and elegant solutions Shiang presents to our deepest riddles will cause you to rethink your most fundamental beliefs.
In God Does Not Play Dice: the Fulfillment of Einstein's Quest for Law and Order in Nature, Shiang offers:
• The solution to the free will problem • Why Stephen Hawking is wrong in saying that there is evidence that nature behaves randomly • Why John Allen Paulos (Innumeracy) needs a lesson in logic and critical thinking • Why the mathematical certainty of Richard Dawkins is pure illusion • How to eliminate regret in one easy step
From the book: Dawkins makes the imposing claim that Darwinian natural selection is an "established fact," but this ridiculous pronouncement indicates that a leading scientist can be quite mistaken as to what actually qualifies as science. It also shows that Dawkins does not understand Dennett's discussion of actualism in Darwin's Dangerous Idea, even though Dawkins extols the work of his fellow bright by calling the book "surpassingly brilliant." How could Darwinism be an "established fact" if actualism demolishes and annihilates it?
David A. Shiang received his undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a Danforth Fellow in the English PhD program at the University of California, Berkeley, and he has a Master of Management from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University. He is the author of The Regret Cure and the upcoming Jim Morrison and the Infinite Gold Mine: My Journey Through The Doors to the Mind of God
“Very provocative, erudite, and solidly based on intelligent and logical thinking! Congratulations on making an excellent contribution to understanding the role of a higher intelligence in organizing the affairs of the universe!”
- Pat McGovern, IDG Founder and Chairman, Co-founder of The McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT
"His lucidity and logic are breathtakingly devastating. He is not afraid to defend the mind of God, either…. I cannot overstate the importance of Shiang’s work and its deep influence."
- Len Klikunas, Cultural Anthropologist
"A fascinating book. Shiang makes you reexamine the fundamentals of science."
- Andrew S. Chen, Cosmologist and Former MIT Physics Professor
