What do others think of this book? I thought is was one of the best
books, I had read.


[Hammond]
Tipler's books on religion are generally ridiculed and
totally unappreciated within the scientific community but
they remain popular among scientific amateurs and layman.
Frank Tipler is the flip side of Richard Dawkins. Both
of them are religiously naive but are commanding scientific
giants who are emotionally compelled to commit daredevil
showmanship because of it.
Naturally both of them have become academic spectacles
of immense public interest. This is because it is widely
understood that Demons always appear to assist Angels in
the case of every historic miracle, Judas being the most
famous example.
Apparently the delivery of the world's first scientific
proof of God (aka SPOG) is to be yet another such familiar
scenario.
Tipler is a powerful writer and a crack physicist. His
knowledge of religion is of course naive science fiction.
However, a brilliant physicist is bound to say something
useful sooner or later besides being at all times
fascinating to listen to.
There is much scientific fact and theory which is of
relevance to the actual (Hammond 2003) bona fide SPOG in
Tipler's 2 books and I have read them both cover to cover.
Frankly I wish he'd condescend to talk to me. I'm sure
he would be interested in what an ACTUAL scientific proof of
God looks like!

[Hammond]
The highly esteemed physics professor Frank J. Tipler is
a semi-psychotic religious crackpot. As incontrovertible
proof of that I submit the following statement made by him:

"For instance walking on water could be accomplished by
directing a neutrino beam created just below Jesus' feet
downward."
(F.J.Tipler 2007, Physics of Christianity, p.200)

While Tipler is a superb mathematical physicist widely
known for discovering the Tipler Cylinder in General
Relativity and also famous for his celebrated book on the
Anthropic principle with fellow physicist Barrow,
unfortunately he is so childishly ignorant of common
psychology he could no more tell you the metaphorical
significance of walking on water than he could tell you why
people argue over whether a tomato is a fruit or a
vegetable!
As a glaring result of this humongous lacunae in his
general education, he has had the temerity to go off half
cocked and attempt to "scientifically justify Christianity"
without having the slightest idea of what God actually is.
As PENANCE for this high handed folly I think that he
should help the unknown physicist HAMMOND publish his
legitimate and historic discovery of the world's first bona
fide scientific proof of God in a more prestigious journal.
However, Tipler's ego is even larger than his juvenile
religious theory, so that attempts by me to contact him
have repeatedly failed. while he makes millions publishing
religious pseudoscience, a suffering humanity is denied the
true scientific explanation of God.
