Ken Pederson believes that the two great intellectual traditions of civilization, science and religion, have never been able to reach any unified world view, and that perhaps today they are further apart than ever. But at the leading edges of both science and religion there are many today saying that the two are not only complementary but lead to the same truth. Written in an accessible style for the author's daughter, Jenny, this book explores the beauty and the purpose of the design of the patterns of our universe. It is a story about stardust, atoms, quarks, energy, information, life, consciousness and love. It explores the intricate ballet of energy and information that created and sustains the marvellous designs that our scientists have uncovered. It pulls together what we have learnt from science, ethics, religion, history and living to present a unified spiritual world view which makes a positive statement about who we are.

Jenny's father, Kenneth Pedersen, has been spent the last thirty three years primarily in the design of next generation weapon systems, and is the Vice President of Advanced Weapon Systems for Raytheon. Managing teams of several hundred to a thousand of our most brilliant people he has been forced to question incessantly, to understand that there is always a better idea, and to judge which of the myriad paths available his team will take. Forced to read everything, he came to the conclusion that maybe a designer generalist is in a good position to provide a comprehensive overall view of where our knowledge is leading us. This is his first book.
