This philosophical work presents a unified theory of creation and evolution, comparing the creation accounts of the Bible with the determinations of modern physical theory. Pinpointing the negative discovered by human reflection as the power behind the Hegelian dialectic, and identifying this discovery with the fall of Adam at the beginning of human civilization, the author traces the development of civilization through the Biblical narrative and reveals the intellectual and spiritual saga of human redemption.Michael Sidney Welch was born in Leicester, England into a world at war! While living in Jerusalem for many years, he studied ancient and modern philosophy, and Jewish and Christian theology seeking an answer to the quandary of the evil of violence among men who desired peace. After converting to Catholicism, he moved to the United States and made a comprehensive study of physical theory. The Reality of Being is an attempt to communicate the fruit of his research in a form that is easily accessible to the general reader.Publisher's Web site: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheRealityOfBeing.html
