Has Science Found God?: The Latest Results in the Search for Purpose in the Universe 1 Reviewhttp://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Has_Science_Found_God.html?id=xFbXAAAAMAAJ Prometheus Books, Apr 1, 2003 - Religion - 373 pages "Stenger critically reviews the attempts of many contemporary theologians and some scientists to resurrect failed natural theologies in new guises. Whether these involve updated arguments from design, "anthropic" coincidences, or modern forms of deism, Stenger clearly shows that nothing in modern physics, biology, or cosmology requires supernatural explanation and that those who claim evidence for intelligent design in the universe have made a number of fundamental scientific errors. Through an extensive discussion of the origin and nature of the universe and its laws, he offers naturalistic explanations for empirical observations that are frequently given theistic interpretations: for example, that information in the universe implies an intelligent designer, that a universe with a beginning requires a Creator, and that the elegant laws of physics suggest a transcendant realm. Three valuable appendices are included to help readers appreciate the scientific reasoning."--BOOK JACKET. |
