Has Science Found God?: The Latest Results in the Search for Purpose in the Universe

Offering a critical analysis of theories binding science to theology, Stenger argues that nothing in modern physics, biology, or cosmology requires supernatural explanation, and that those who claim evidence of an intelligent creator have made numerous scientific errors. Writing for a general audience, Stenger (physics, U. of Hawaii) discusses the origin and laws of the universe, offering naturalistic explanations for scientific observations that frequently are given theistic interpretations. The author's arguments are further supported by three short scientific appendices touching on Planck length, lifetimes of stars, and entropy.
