Taking Johannes Kepler as his guide, Gingerich argues that an individual can be both a creative scientist and a believer in divine design - that indeed the very motivation for scientific research can derive from a desire to trace God's handiwork. Gingerich carves out "a theistic space" from which it is possible to contemplate a universe where God plays an interactive role, unnoticed yet not excluded by science."--BOOK JACKET ER -
