This chapter examines how science intersects with monotheism and ethical considerations, arguing for the existence of an objective truth accessible through transcendent beliefs. It also highlights the foundational axioms of scientific inquiry and discusses the ethical obligations of scientists, drawing on philosophical insights from Thomas Kuhn.
Peterson and Shapiro consider how geography and religion play a critical role in the conflict in the Middle East, the collective agreement in a transcendent authority, and how the ancient wisdom embodied in Jerusalem may be the missing link in forging a path for peace.
