War of the Worldviews (Science vs Spirituality) is a book published by Harmony Books in 2011[1] by Deepak Chopra and Leonard Mlodinow, on the debate between Science and Spirituality. It is written as a series of articulate essays by each author on a mutually agreed up on list of 18 questions. Each writes their side and is followed by the other person's rebuttal with the text of their essay in hands.

Forward
Includes a brief introduction to the background of the book. During a question and answer session at a Caltech debate "Does God have a Future?", Deepak Chopra asked "Is there a physicist in the house?". After the debate, moderator Dan Harris found Leonard Mlodinow from the audience to ask a question. Leonard instead offered to teach him quantum physics[2]. Deepak accepted. This eventually lead to the writing of this work.
