 Dr. Gerald Schroeder's twin careers in earth sciences and nuclear physics have taken him to some weird, wonderful, and perhaps not so wonderful, places. In his work with nuclear disarmament, he has been present at the detonation of six atomic bombs. Work in control of radioactivity has put him hundreds of meters below ground in U.S. and foreign uranium mines. 
Dr. Schroeder has over 60 publications in the world's leading scientific journals on topics ranging from the radon atmosphere of the moon (in Science) to the metabolism of mother's milk (in Nutrition Reports International). The results of Schroeder's work have been reported in Time, Newsweek, Scientific American and in newspapers as far apart as Boston and Adelaide. His formal training in chemistry, nuclear physics and the Earth and planetary sciences provides the basis for the broad scientific perspective he brings to his books and lectures. Dr. Schroeder has also pursued a study of ancient biblical interpretation. An ability to handle biblical material in the original language, integrated with his background in the sciences sets his approach apart from the many attempts by fellow scientists to discuss the impact of 20th century science on traditional biblical teachings. The uniqueness and success of Schroeder's approach is demonstrated by the success of his first book, Genesis and The Big Bang (published by Bantam Doubleday and now in six languages), and the wide acclaim for his second book The Science of God (published by The Free Press of Simon & Schuster and Broadway Books of Bantam Doubleday) which was on the Barnes & Noble list of non-fiction best sellers and was Amazon.com's best selling book in the field of physics/cosmology for all of 1998.

Talk Topics by Gerald Schroeder The age of our universe: six days, fifteen billion years or both? A discovery of harmony between modern science and ancient biblical commentary Genesis and the Big Bang: ancient kabala and modern science Evolution and the Bible: answering a contradiction. Is it ID, G-d, or Darwin? Evolution Bible style! What about the dinosaurs? What the dinosaurs can teach us about God. Comparing their demise with God's logic for the Flood Intelligent Design and evolution: Let's separate facts from theory Origins of humankind: from mud to man; comparing Biblical writings with the fossil record Life after Death: Science is discovering that the line between life and death may actually be only a change in perspective and not a line at all Why (not "when") bad things happen even to good people: How an infinite God is revealed in our finite universe. Alternative title: Dinosaurs: nature's accident or Divine plan?? The physics of free will: if our Creator knows the future, how do we have free will - a Biblical and scientific explanation The Temple as a model of the universe Bread from the Earth: revealing a universe tuned for life The Book of Job: understanding the acts of an infinite Creator in a limited creation The puzzle of existence: the metaphysics of a world embedded within a universal consciousness. Thinking about thinking: the brain/mind interface. With wisdom G-d created the heavens and the earth: Before matter there was energy and before energy there was wisdom. Wisdom is the ultimate building block of the wonderful universe within which we reside. We are the idea of God. Free will: the nefesh, the neshama (our two souls) and the definition of pleasure A scientist's view of Biblical religion: Seeing God in the Physics Lab The talks are based on ancient biblical commentary and modern science. They usually prompt a wide range of questions from the audience, whether scientist, theologian or layperson, adult or youngster, believer or skeptic. Venues include those open to the public in auditoriums, intimate briefings for secular and religious teachers, "lunch & learn" sessions, school classes from elementary levels though university. Each talk is tailored to meet the capacity of the particular class. These talks benefit considerably by having a white board or flip chart with several sheets of paper and colored markers available, though they are not essential. | |
