The book title is attributed to Albert Einstein, the most important and prominent theoretical physicist of the 20th Century. His view of the origin of the universe was theistic as opposed to an atheistic view that the origin was from random unpredictability or chance. But Einstein had observed a universe of perfect order; there was nothing random about it. He argued that God leaves nothing to chance; God does not play dice. All agree that the laws of physics that govern the universe are fixed. Biblical views match what astronomers know....the universe had a beginning....was created from nothing.....is governed by a space-time paradigm that is fixed.....and is governed by a constant law of decay....all exquisitely described in multiple Biblical texts. The two dominant views of reality, Secular-humanist and Judeo-Christian are compared and contrasted. Two important historical figures were born on the same day....Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Their contributions to society and culture are explored and contrasted....Lincoln's centered in God, and Darwin's centered in secular humanism. Their contributions are polar opposites reflecting two "societies"....one God centered, the other man centered. One expressing the "Mind of God" , the other the "Mind of Man". These two societies were described by Augustine, the leading Christian theologian of the first millennium. There is conflict between the two societies or "kingdoms". The conflict at some point in time will be resolved. The question remains, how, where and when.

This book is a historical novel based in three areas of interest. Two history changing segments of time are integrated with a winsome story.First, the amazing ignominy of a German people and economy, devastated by WWI, who are willing to follow a demagogue into a second war in just 20 short years. Adolf Hitler was a man who failed at almost everything he tried, rising to the rank of corporal as a dispatch runner in WWI. Yet in 1933 he was appointed Chancellor of Germany and a year later the Fuhrer of the German Reich. He predicted a 1000 year reign for the Reich. It lasted just over 12 years. The abstruse core of his attempt of concurring the European continent was the eradication of all Jews from Europe, known as the Holocaust. Second was the inordinate rise in the understanding of elemental physics. This began in 1905 when an obscure Jewish physicist named Albert Einstein published a series of papers on what he called 'special relativity'. He followed this in ten yearswith the even more remarkable description of general relativity. The advance in this area of science, from the understanding of the elemental structure of the atom, to the almost bizarre quantum mechanics, involved multiple physicists including Niels Bohr, Max Plank, Leo Szilard, Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn and many others. The atomic nucleus was "split" by Otto Hahn which let to something known in atomic physics and a "chain reaction". Multiple physicists who were Jews were forced to leave Europe.Many of these brilliant Nobel Prize winners emigrated to the U. S. and became involved in an effort to develop an A-bomb (known as the Manhattan Project). Eventually this weapon was used to bring WWII to an end.The third segment of the book is the story of Anna Eichenwald. She was an academic surgeon who was respected and admired,but this did not mollify the enemies of her people. As the danger increased, she changed her identity and went 'underground'.She was befriended by the sister of the man she loved, and joined the underground resistance. Eventually she was betrayed, arrested and sent to Buchenwald Prison. In the prison she entered a covert operation that interestingly was not fiction. Because she was an admired Jewish academic, she was singled out for execution. Her survival is the apogee of the book.

The game of basketball has been part of the American landscape for more than 100 years, but nowhere is it played or followed more fervently than in the City of Philadelphia. Some of the greatest college talent has been developed at the five universities in the City of Brotherly Love -- La Salle, Pennsylvania, St. Joseph's, Temple, and Villanova. Hunt reviews the 40 seasons of historic games, players, and coaches of these schools.
