Quantum Physics suggests that life in the world is about engaging with and entangling in its waves. Its concept of complementarity also makes possible the affirmation of God’s consistent actions in the universe without violating Scientific findings, an affirmation that offers resources for dealing with life’s waves.

Reality and Waves brings Philosophy into dialogue with Quantum Physics, offering a full-blown system Ellingsen calls the Philosophy of Waves. Quantum Physicists contend that reality is wave-like, and so the book helps us to see what the universe looks like when all its components are construed as being waves. Ellingsen makes the case for how Religion and Ethics have scientific validity. He teaches a Quantum Ethic for readers, a vision of life as joyful play in the waves of reality, but doing so with a commitment to fighting any wave which aims to divide us or increase entropy (unfocused, destructive energy). He also introduces us to a God who dwells in the “stuff” of matter, a God who binds the particles and atoms into matter. The result is a Philosophy of Religion offering fresh solutions to perennial questions about the relationship between freedom and destiny, about God's transcendence and immanence in the cosmos, and about God's relationship to evil. The philosophical system in this book will also teach you what Science and Philosophy have to do with everyday life.

Mark Ellingsen professor on the faculty of the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, GA, is the author of 26 books.
