Two years later, an American couple travelled to Shaoyang to adopt a Chinese toddler they thought had been abandoned.

With her customary grace, intelligence and wit, Barbara Brown Taylor wonders why science and faith have become polarized in the popular imagination. She explores what quantum physics, the new biology and chaos theory can teach people of faith and why scientists sound like poets and why physicists use the language of imagination, ambiguity, and mystery that is also found in scripture.In explaining why the church should care about the new insights of science, Taylor suggests ways we might close the gap between spirit and matter, between the sacred and the secular, and celebrate our shared life in the “web of creation†where nothing is without consequence, where all things coexist, where faith and science together seek to discover the same truths about the universe.
