Book Ascendancy Community is pleased to feature Dr. Jargal Dorj and his book, Religion and Science: Scientific Evidence for the Existence of the Soul, Karma, and Afterlife. The work reflects more than 25 years of research into the intersection of logic, mathematics, quantum physics, and religious thought.
Dorj's central invitation is to examine questions often treated as belonging exclusively to either science or religion. He brings a researcher's curiosity to ideas about consciousness, the soul, karma, and what may follow life, encouraging readers to consider how different ways of understanding the world might speak to one another.
A bridge between disciplines
The book draws on the author's background in mathematics and his long-running interest in religious perspectives. Rather than treating science and spirituality as separate conversations, Dorj asks how structured reasoning might be applied to questions of human existence and consciousness.
Its wide-ranging discussion touches on logic, set theory, optimal control theory, quantum physics, and beliefs about the soul across traditions. The result is an ambitious invitation to readers who enjoy following a question across disciplinary boundaries.
Scientists have long studied physical entities ranging from cosmic systems to subatomic particles, yet the nature of human life and consciousness remains less understood.
Questions at the heart of the book
- How might scientific reasoning engage with ideas about the soul and consciousness?
- What do different religious traditions say about life after death?
- How are karma, personal choices, and human flourishing connected in the author's argument?
- Can science and religion contribute to a shared search for meaning?
A life shaped by research
The supplied author feature describes Dorj's journey from Mongolia to the United States and a career shaped by mathematical research, writing, and cross-cultural experience. It notes that he received Mongolia's Polar Star honor in 2012 and has published books and articles alongside his research.
His work is presented as an effort to make complex ideas accessible to a broad readership—not only to specialists, but also to curious readers interested in science, faith, and life's biggest questions.
For curious readers
Religion and Science is likely to interest readers who welcome interdisciplinary nonfiction and are open to examining claims about spirituality through the author's chosen framework. The book invites discussion, reflection, and careful engagement with its arguments.
