About this ebook

If we are to believe many modern commentators, science has squeezed God into a corner, killed and then buried him with its all-embracing explanations. Atheism, we are told, is the only intellectually tenable position, and any attempt to reintroduce God is likely to impede the progress of science.

In this stimulating and thought-provoking book, John Lennox invites us to consider such claims very carefully.

This book evaluates the evidence of modern science in relation to the debate between the atheistic and theistic interpretations of the universe, and provides a fresh basis for discussion. The chapters include:

War of the worldviews
The scope and limits of science
Reduction, reduction, reduction...
Designer universe
Designer biosphere
The nature and scope of evolution
The origin of life
The genetic code and its origin
Matters of information
The monkey machine
and, The origin of information.

Now updated and expanded, God's Undertaker is an invaluable contribution to the debate about science's relationship to religion.

Yet another author with zero scientific background, but talks about science regardless. What truly astounds me is that people actually listen to this philosopher talk about physics and biology instead of listening to physicists and biologists.

This book is very clear in its premise that there is a God and that he is very responsible for the creation of the Universe. He clearly gives evidence that this PERSON is responsible for all things and as some Drinking Clubs for Males clearly agree that this awesome personage is definitely the Architect of all things seen and unseen. He uses (or so it seems to me) the Study of Mathematical Probabilities to clearly show and give evidence, that for the Universe to have happened by chance rests in the realm of insane (if you don't like the word 'insane', then how about 'unbalanced') thinking. Einstein is SUPPOSED to have stated when presenting his Theory E=MC2 Relativity Theory, that it had to be correct because he was a Mathematician and as the original designer of the Universe WAS a Mathematician (which he saw from all his calculations, everything about the Universe being predictable and orderly, designed) his Theory had to be correct - ERGO this is the book for me and anyone else who needs to present an intelligent, lucid, factual statement about the Creation by God as TRUTH!

This a good book on a topic that I do not know much about. For that reason it was a bit over my head.
