In The Magnificence of the 3, author Timeout Taumua takes readers on a journey to answer the age-old question of if science is accurate, then is God real or, if God is real then did science in any way play a part in the development of life. There are people who fall on both sides of the argument. In this very interesting and thought-provoking book, Mr. Taumua presents his very compelling ideas on how both of these ways of looking at life are completely correct and there exists verification that God and science are intertwined.

The author uses a quote from Nikola Tesla to begin the book: “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6, and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.” Of course, being one who does not have a huge background in science myself, but has a large respect and belief in a higher power I immediately said to myself, “Huh?” Moving forward, I found the author offered many solid views on the quote and his own ideas. Mr. Taumua takes the position that the quote is actually talking about the atom and its three parts; positive would be good, negative would be bad, and the neutral part of the atom would be God. Confused yet? I certainly was, but the author went on to explain his thoughts and ideas in a way that allows even the least scientific mind (like mine) to understand where he is going with the book.

By incorporating plenty of the scientific discoveries that have come about in the world with many different Bible stories/elements such as The Tree of Knowledge and the Ark of the Covenant among others, the author slowly builds his concepts up and attempts to show the connection between the ideas of faith and logic to his readers. He does so by bringing to the forefront the idea that God was aware of science and used it in his own way to create the world, even including in the book ideas surrounding the Big Bang Theory.

The book is well-written and presented in a very logical manner so that the ideas build upon each other as you progress through the pages. It is very apparent that the book has been well-researched by the author and there are numerous sources cited and footnotes provided that prove to the reader that this book was a serious project that was undertaken in a very professional manner.

While The Magnificence of the 3 will not be for everyone, for those who think often about the study of either science, religion or both, it will be a must-read. Mr. Taumua makes a very interesting case and one that will challenge readers to look deeply at their own beliefs and possibly reconsider the relationship that may exist between God and science. The book is truly thought-provoking and one that will be of interest to many.

Quill says: If you are a fan of fiction stories with lots of action or romance, then The Magnificence of the 3 is probably not for you. However, if you are a fan of non-fiction, science, religion, or simply very well-researched and presented material that makes you think hard, then this book is definitely for you!
