This book takes a new, fresh approach to the issue of religion and science, and faith and reason, giving bold new arguments and debunking old myths, such as the idea that science paints a picture of a world without God (which is false, because God created the Universe, and it is a Universe which obviously and manifestly obeys the laws of math and science, biology, physics, chemistry, logic, etc.), that reason is inherently opposed to faith (which is false, because reason can be used to construct doubts, but it can also be used to argue against doubts), the idea that if God controls all things then free will and chance cannot exist in the world (which, again, is false, because God created free will and God created chaos, therefore their existence, ever so far from contradicting the power of God, relies on the fact that God is the Lord of all things), and the idea that if God is good then He would not allow evil to exist (which is false because, if humans have free will, then of course evil can exist, because free will is the ability to choose between good and evil, therefore the existence of evil is merely a natural byproduct of God's greatest gift, the blessing to humans of a merciful and benevolent Lord, the gift of free will, which gives us our souls and puts the meaning into our lives).
Students of the philosophy of religion, scholars of religion, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and anyone who wonders about faith and the presence of God in their life, should read this book.
