Few questions have vexed humanity more than how did we come to exist? How can we reconcile the Big Bang Theory with the monotheist belief in the wonders of creation? The Fabric of Eternity: A Scientist’s View of the Works of Providence is scientist István Kolossváry’s personal view of the Universe that allows for science and theology to co-exist. Neither new science nor new theology, it is a humble attempt to create appreciation for these two disciplines in gratitude to the Universe and her Creator.

In this debut nonfiction, Kolossváry makes the argument on scientific grounds that there are only two ways of thinking about the workings of the Universe: We either realize the continuous loving care of God, or we go it alone, reject God, and insist upon a self-contained existence with no reason or purpose.

Science can only offer these two fundamental alternatives but cannot decide between them in the lab. In a scientific experiment involving humans, however, Kolossváry argues that the “go it alone” theory may be proven false. In an experiment the reader can personally do, Kolossváry shows that the “go it alone” theory makes predictions that contradict human nature. Those who choose to go it alone shall be bound — on scientific grounds — to deny commonly accepted traits such as free will, honor and human dignity. It is the reader’s call: does the experiment verify or refute the “go it alone” theory?

With over 25 years as a scientist, Kolossváry has privately grappled with the chasm between science and theology. The Fabric of Eternity: A Scientist’s View of the Works of Providence seeks to eradicate the wall that divides the two disciplines and bring a fresh perspective to believers in both.

“Indeed, The Fabric of Eternity is a prose poem that illustrates once more how someone immersed in and conversant with the technical world is able to discern, in a generous Teilhardian compass, origin, pathway, and meaning.”–Teilhard Perspective Spring/Summer 2014

“In Him we live, move and have our being.” This is what St. Paul told the great thinkers of his day when he visited the Areopagus in Athens. Like St. Paul, István Kolossváry is making a similar appeal to those who would be the great thinkers of our day. In The Fabric of Eternity: A Scientist’s View of the Works of Providence, we are led on a journey through the various arguments of science in order to see that it all boils down to making a choice between a universe with direction and purpose or a “go it alone” universe.”–Bil Howard for Readers’ Favorite
