Description: "With a remarkable array of carefully assembled documentation, JamesHerrick demonstrates how the porous boundary between science fictionand 'speculative science' has produced a new guiding myth in the West,allegedly capable of reenchanting the cosmos. Coming in the wake ofnumerous books that have snidely dismissed Christian belief as a lotof wishful thinking and superstitious hooey, Scientific Mythologies isa refreshing and revealing reminder of the odd forms a longing fortranscendence can take when the God who actually did come down fromthe heavens is rejected. Christopher Hitchens, phone home!"
