Summary

In the past few years a number of scientists have claimed that there is credible scientific evidence for the existence of God. In 1998 Newsweek went so far as to proclaim on its cover, "Science Finds God." Is this true? Are scientists close to solving the greatest of all mysteries? Physicist Victor J. Stenger delves into this fascinating question from a sceptical point of view in this lucid and engrossing presentation of the key scientific facts. This thorough and careful consideration of scientific evidence covers much ground yet remains accessible and highly informative to the educated lay reader.

Author Biography

Victor J. Stenger is emeritus professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Hawaii, and adjunct professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado.
