God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God? (Revised)
Some commentators claim that science has finally killed the concept of God by virtue of its own all-encompassing explanations of reality. Atheism, they say, is the only intellectually tenable position, and any attempt to reintroduce God is likely to impede scientific progress. In this stimulating and thought-provoking book, with impeccable logic, irrefutable documentation, and extraordinary Christian grace, John Lennox invites us to reexamine such claims. Is it really true, he asks, that the nature of science points toward atheism? Could it be possible that theism sits more comfortably with science than atheism? Has science truly buried God or not? "Recent books touting atheism have been grounded more on dyspepsia than on dispassionate reason. In this book John Lennox 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
