SCIENCE AND RELIGION:
For a Redefinition of God

Denis Noble

Reinventing the Sacred
A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion
by Stuart A. Kauffman
Basic Books, New York, 2008. 334 pp. $27, C$28.95. ISBN 9780465003006.
The author argues for his emergence-based view of the world and "that the qualities of divinity that we hold sacred-creativity, meaning, purposeful action-are in fact properties of the universe that can be investigated scientifically."
The reviewer is at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics, Oxford University, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PT, UK. E-mail: denis.noble{at}dpag.ox.ac.uk
