Theism, Atheism and Big Bang Cosmology - Tapa dura

Contemporary science presents the theory that the universe began to exist about 15 billion years ago with a cataclysmic explosion called "the Big Bang". But was the Big Bang created (by God), or did it occur without cause? In this book two philosophers of the opposite viewpoints debate the question. Their arguments are based on Einstein's theory of relativity, and include a discussion of the new quantum cosmology recently developed by Stephen Hawking in "A Brief History of Time".
