Paperback. Condición: Good. Challenging today's accepted "wisdom," Catholic scientist Gerard Verschuuren, Ph.D., here demonstrates that the question of whether God exists is not one science can answer. Indeed, chat would be like expecting a microscope to reveal the square root of sixteen! Verschuuren continues by explaining five famous medieval proofs for the existence of God-based on reason alone-that have survived despite nearly a thousand years of efforts to refute them. With his wise help, you'll come to see that just as reason gives us access to the existence of numbers, so it is reason that gives us access to the existence of God. In fact, when we use our reason to investigate the existence of God, we encounter proofs that are more powerful by far than any that science could ever provide. Yes, Verschuuren is a Catholic; but he's also a veteran scientist, schooled in using reason alone to draw forth from evidence the proofs to which it necessarily leads. Among the many truths that Verschuuren evinces here by reason alone are the following: Why science is not qualified to speak about the existence-or nonexistence-of God, The many ways we can know for certain that God exists, What it means to say that He is all-present, How God can be all-knowing, How we know that God is all-perfect, How we know He is all-powerful, Why the same God cannot be the God of all religions, And much more that reveals the enormous power of reason-and the even greater power of God! Try it! Verschuuren's stunning proofs for God's existence-based on reason alone-will open your eyes, stir your heart, and, more importantly, deepen your faith in the wondrous Creator of Heaven and earth!

Paperback. Condición: Good. The taste of fresh berries, the quiet cadence of waves lapping a lakeshore, the song of an owl in the night, the glory of a sunset: so many details manifest the reality that Earth is not merely the place where we are, but that it is truly our home and is meant to be our home.Most modern scientists dismiss this notion as romantic nonsense, arguing instead that Earth and, indeed, the entire universe is actually a cosmic accident, the mystifying result of billions of years of random events.Here in this work of basic science written for nonspecialists, scientist Gerard Verschuuren confronts those men and women on their own territory force for force, atom for atom, cell for cell, and even planet for planet.With clear, well-documented explanations, he shows that the latest findings of modern cosmology, physics, chemistry, geology, and other sciences tell a remarkably different story. Instead of the vaunted randomness of our immense universe, scientists have recently discovered indisputable patterns in the structures of matter and energy. Over the eons, these distinctive patterns drove the universe inexorably toward formation of the Earth as what we experience it to be: our secure, exceptional, and singularly welcoming home.In these pages, you'll learn, among other things: Why the universe is so old . . . and so vast Earth's unique chemical and geological characteristics that make it a hospitable place for mankindHow the moon became critical to life on EarthHow volcanism, mass extinctions, and even changes in the Earth's orbit prepared the way for mankindEvidence that evolutionary changes are not, as the atheists claim, randomWhy the Catholic Church has always distinguished the Book of Scripture from the Book of NatureHow science presupposes the existence of God without even realizing it The limitations of the scientific method and how those limitations trip up scientistsThe many hidden, unscientific dogmas of scienceThe errors of Stephen Hawking and other popular cosmologistsWhy science wrongly denies that the universe was made for mankindEvidence that we live in a purpose-driven world (and why science is blind to it)And much more.…
