Summary

If we are to believe many modern commentators, science has squeezed God into a corner, killed and then buried him with its all-embracing explanations. God's Undertaker by John C. Lennox thoughtfully examines the relationship between modern science and theistic belief. It explores key topics such as the limits of science, evolution, the origin of life, and the genetic code, offering a fresh perspective in the debate between atheism and theism. Updated and expanded, the book is a stimulating invitation to reconsider the assumptions behind atheistic interpretations of the universe.

Description

If we are to 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.

This book evaluates the evidence of modern science in relation to the debate between the atheistic and theistic interpretations of the universe, and provides a fresh basis for discussion.

The chapters include:

War of the worldviews

The scope and limits of science

Reduction, reduction, reduction...

Designer universe

Designer biosphere

The nature and scope of evolution

The origin of life

The genetic code and its origin

Matters of information

The monkey machine

The origin of information.

Now updated and expanded, God's Undertaker is an invaluable contribution to the debate about science's relationship to religion.

'John considers the best, most recent science from physics and biology, and demonstrates that the picture looks far different from what we've been told.' -- Michael Behe, author of Darwin's Black Box and The Edge of Evolution
