Here is an unprecedented collection of twenty freewheeling and revealing interviews with major players in the ongoing--and increasingly heated--debate about the relationship between religion and science. These lively conversations cover the most important and interesting topics imaginable: the Big Bang, the origins of life, the nature of consciousness, the foundations of religion, the meaning of God, and much more.
In Atoms and Eden, Peabody Award-winning journalist Steve Paulson explores these topics with some of the most prominent public intellectuals of our time, including Richard Dawkins, Karen Armstrong, E. O. Wilson, Sam Harris, Elaine Pagels, Francis Collins, Daniel Dennett, Jane Goodall, Paul Davies, and Steven Weinberg. The interviewees include Christians, Buddhists, Jews, and Muslims, as well as agnostics, atheists, and other scholars who hold perspectives that are hard to categorize. Paulson's interviews sweep across a broad range of scientific disciplines--evolutionary biology, quantum physics, cosmology, and neuroscience--and also explore key issues in theology, religious history, and what William James called ''the varieties of religious experience.'' Collectively, these engaging dialogues cover the major issues that have often pitted science against religion--from the origins of the universe to debates about God, Darwin, the nature of reality, and the limits of human reason. These are complex, intellectually rich discussions, presented in an accessible and engaging manner. Most of these interviews were originally published as individual cover stories for Salon.com, where they generated a huge reader response. Public Radio's "To the Best of Our Knowledge" will present a major companion series on related topics this fall.
A feast of ideas and competing perspectives, this volume will appeal to scientists, spiritual seekers, and the intellectually curious.

Super Soft
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
So I’ve been trying these pillowcases out for a while. Let me tell you if you’re looking for a silky soft comfortable surface to lay your head on look no further. These silky, soft satin pillowcases fill that niche like nobody else. The material is very soft it looks very shiny and feels amazing next to my skin, which is all I look for. The quality is excellent. I’ve really enjoyed these pillowcases and the silver is wearing on me now I need to order some matching silver silky sheets, and I’ll be set. What an amazing value.

4 BUCKS PER PILLOWCASE. DEAL!
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
SUPA MODERN Satin Pillowcase, Similar to Silk Pillow Cases Queen Size Set of 2. These silver pillowcases shine like metal, but they are worth 4 bucks a piece. My sister and I each tried one out. She loves how kindly the pillowcase treats her hair and her extensions; no snags, knottting, or rat nests. I love the way the material feels on my face; soothing and smooth. Definitely a good, affordable price for pillowcases, even shiny silver ones.

retty color, but the comfort isn’t there.
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
I only received one pillowcase in my package, which was disappointing since it’s sold as a set of two. I’m also not a fan of this satin material — it runs hot and I end up sticking to it. The color is a pretty metallic silver, but the pillowcase itself feels cheap compared to brands like Kitsch. Overall, this one just isn’t for me.
