A God That Could Be Real

Nancy Abrams presents a radically new way of thinking about God that is compatible with modern science.

Rather than the traditional omniscient, omnipotent creator God, Abrams argues that God is an 'emergent phenomenon' that arises from the staggering complexity of humanity's collective aspirations—similar to how a complex anthill emerges from individual ants' behavior or the global economy emerges from billions of individual choices.

This God did not create the universe but created its meaning, is planetary rather than universal, and can comfort and empower humanity without changing the world.

The book is designed for agnostic, spiritual-but-not-religious, and scientifically minded readers seeking to reconcile science with spirituality.
