Abstract:

Proposing a new science based on the primacy of consciousness, the author puts forth four profound examples that attempt to illustrate the validity of the existence of God — Quantum Measurement, Biological Evolution, Perception, and Mind-Body Healing. Based on this new paradigm, which is grounded in quantum physics, he simultaneously endeavors to resolve various paradoxical features such as creativity, fossil gaps, the riddle of perception, and rapidly growing mind-body healing, which our existing scientific conceptions find hard to explain.
