God’s Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?

If we 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. Is it really true, he asks, that everything in science points towards atheism? Could it be possible that theism sits more comfortably with science than atheism? Has science buried God or Not?

Cosmic Impressions: Traces of God in the Laws of Nature

Walter Thirring is an internationally renowned scientist who took part in and worked among those involved in many of the scientific developments of the twentieth century. His book, about the knowledge of the world as illuminated by twentieth century science, was originally published in German. This is the first English translation and is a book that is easily accessible to readers of popular science books and magazines.

 

Professor Thirring starts with cosmology as he examines scientific questions and theories concerning the intricacy of nature and the universe. He branches into an exposition of chaos and its connection to the macroscopic world, as well as to life sciences, touching on such diverse related subjects as the structure of the water molecule. He speaks of advances with which he was personally involved, and offers priceless vignettes of great scientists with whom he exchanged discussions, including Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, and Wolfgang Pauli.

 

His study of scientific theory and the intricacy of nature and the universe illuminates his argument for the role of a Creator. "Reflections on the creation of the universe lead to reflections about the Creator," he writes. And arguing against atheism, he points out:

“When we are moved by a fantastic building, a cathedral or a mosque and have finally realized what is behind the glorious proportions, who would then say, ‘Now we don't need the architect anymore. There might not even be one, that could all just be the random product of circumstance.’”

 

Furthermore, in making humankind special in his creation, the Creator gave us the responsibility of seeking an understanding of creation and protecting it.

 

Tackling complex issues in science and religion, Professor Thirring presents a compelling argument for their synthesis. His tenure and influence in the scientific field make this argument even more compelling.

What's so great about Christianity

Is Christianity obsolete? Can an intelligent, educated person really believe the Bible? Or are atheists correct? Does science disprove Christianity, debunk it as a force for good, and discredit it as a guide to morality? In his groundbreaking new book, What's So Great About Christianity, bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza is the first to tackle these questions and challenge atheists on their own secular turf. Approaching atheism with the skeptical eye usually reserved for religion, D'Souza uses the latest scientific (among other) evidence to show why Christianity makes sense, why the atheists' arguments are wrong, and why there really is something great about Christianity. 

What's So Great About Christianity explains: 

Why Christianity explains what modern science tells us about the universe and our origins-better than atheism does 

How Christianity created the framework for modern science, so that Christianity and science are reconcilable, but atheism and science may not be 

Why the alleged sins of Christianity-the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Galileo affair-are vastly overblown 

Why atheist regimes are responsible for the greatest mass murders of history 

Why evolution does not threaten Christian belief, but actually supports the "argument from design" 

Why atheists fear the Big Bang theory and the "anthropic principle" of the universe, which are keystones of modern astronomy and physics 

How Christianity explains consciousness and free will, which atheists have to deny 

By revealing the superiority of Christianity, D'Souza raises the culture war debate to a whole new level. 

What's So Great About Christianity proves that Christianity and science are not at odds with each other; that atheism is philosophically, factually, and demographically bankrupt; and that a resurgent Christianity is the real wave of the future-and atheism a trend of the past.

Darwin's Angel

Richard Dawkins' apologia for atheism has attracted huge attention, and sales, all over the world. In a telling critique cast in the classical form of a letter to Dawkins John Cornwell takes issue with it.

'Monkeys make men ... Men make angels'- Charles Darwin.

The God Delusion is a clarion call to the faithless, the waverers, and even firm religious believers, to follow the author into radical atheism not merely as a private conviction but as a public profession. Wouldn't humankind be better off without religion, he asks. John Cornwell's Darwin's Angel is not so much a combative repudiation of Dawkins'arguments as a playful conversation with them, posing alternative view-points, exposing lapses in logic and errors of fact, from the vantage point of a friendly Guardian Angel.

Dawkins' Case Against God

Answering the New Atheism: Dismantling Dawkins' Case Against God

The essential book for dismantling Richard Dawkins' atheistic agenda. Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker collaborate to debunk Dawkins' theories and show how inconsistent and illogical his conclusions truly are. This is the definitive book for college students or faithful Christians hoping to answer Dawkins' claims and assert the logic and beauty of their faith.
