Advances in the field of science known as the new physics could bring within our grasp a unified description of all creation. This would demand a radical reformulation of the most fundamental aspects of reality and a way of thinking that is closer in accord with mysticism than materialism.
A good popular summary of the science, but a lot of straw in the religious "debates." The tv show "The Big Bang Theory" covers the topic better. Excellent, if now dated, bibliography.
A poor attempt to link God & physics/cosmology.

This is one of the very best books about religion and science.
