This title features a new foreword by best-selling author Christopher Hitchens. Throughout history arguments for & against the existence of God have been largely confined to philosophy & theology. In the meantime science has sat on the sidelines & quietly watched this game of words march up & down the field. Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life & greatly clarified our understanding of the world somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality. Physicist Victor J. Stenger contends that if God exists some evidence for this existence should be detectable by scientific means especially considering the central role that God is alleged to play in the operation of the universe & the lives of humans. Treating the traditional God concept as conventionally presented in the Judeo-Christian & Islamic traditions like any other scientific hypothesis Stenger examines all of the claims made for Gods existence. He considers the latest Intelligent Design arguments as evidence of Gods influence in biology. He looks at human behavior for evidence of immaterial souls & the possible effects of prayer. He discusses the findings of physics & astronomy in weighing the suggestions that the universe is the work of a creator & that humans are Gods special creation. After evaluating all the scientific evidence Stenger concludes that beyond a reasonable doubt the universe & life appear exactly as we might expect if there were no God. ...
