“Is nature all there is? What is the paradigm behind modern science? For most scientists it is absolute materialism,” says Dr. Matti Leisola. “Most scientists I know, never think about their basic assumptions or formulate them clearly in their minds. If you challenge the materialistic assumption, the reactions are sometimes strong. That is the theme of my book.”

Here is the story of Leisola’s adventures making waves — and many friends and enemies — at major research labs and universities across Europe. The book draws on Leisola’s expertise in molecular biology to show how the evidence points more strongly than ever to a designing intelligence behind life, the universe and everything.

Heretic delivers a challenge for readers to follow the evidence where it leads, have an open mind towards this honest interpretation of that evidence.
