God and Stephen Hawking: Whose Design is it Anyway?

God and Stephen Hawking: Whose Design is it Anyway?

by JohnLennox (Author), John C. Lennox (Author)

Synopsis

'The Grand Design', by eminent scientist Stephen Hawking, is the latest blockbusting contribution to the so-called New Atheist debate, and claims that the laws of physics themselves brought the Universe into being, rather than God. In this swift and forthright reply, John Lennox, Oxford mathematician and author of 'God's Undertaker', exposes the flaws in Hawking's logic. In lively, layman's terms, Lennox guides us through the key points in Hawking's arguments - with clear explanations of the latest scientific and philosophical methods and theories - and demonstrates that far from disproving a Creator God, they make his existence seem all the more probable.

Media Reviews
A brilliant response to Stephen Hawking's The Grand Design. Make sure you hear both sides of the argument! --Alister McGrath, author, The Dawkins Delusion
Recent books touting atheism have been grounded more on dyspepsia than on dispassionate reason. In this book 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, Darwin's Black Box on God's Undertaker
[God and Stephen Hawking] certainly deserves to win the 'Award of Merit' in the '2012 Christianity Today Books Awards.' --Arn.org
