The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer

"The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer" by John Gerard is a thought-provoking exploration concerning the roles of science and philosophy in answering profound questions about the universe and existence. The book begins by posing the age-old riddle of the universe's origin, suggesting that everything had a moment of creation, supported by logic and scientific observations. Gerard challenges the idea that science has all the answers, questioning what came before the beginning and how something comes from nothing, urging readers to think about the limits of scientific explanations and the importance of philosophical thought in understanding mysteries that science alone cannot solve.
