In this compelling new edition, Richard Swinburne, one of the most
distinguished philosophers of religion today, argues that contrary to
the claims of Richard Dawkins and others, science actually provides good
grounds for belief in God. Why is there a universe at all? Why is
there any life on Earth? How is it that discoverable scientific laws
operate in the universe? Swinburne uses scientific reasoning to argue
that the best answers to these questions are given by the existence of
God. The picture of the universe that science gives us is completed by
God. This updated edition features a new, stronger argument as to why
theism does--and materialism does not--provide a very simple ultimate
explanation of the world. And Swinburne also now examines the idea of
the possible existence of many other universes, and its relevance to his
arguments from the fine-tuning of our universe to the existence of God.
Powerful, modern, and accessible, Is There a God? is must reading for
anyone
interested in an intelligent and approachable defense of the existence
of God.
