About this ebook

With the incredible popularity of recent books championing agnosticism or atheism, many people might never know that such books almost completely ignore the considerable evidence for theism uncovered in both physics and philosophy over the past four decades. New Proofs for the Existence of God responds to these glaring omissions. / From universal space-time asymmetry to cosmic coincidences to the intelligibility of reality, Robert Spitzer tackles a wealth of evidence. He considers string theory, quantum cosmology, mathematical thoughts on infinity, and much more. / This fascinating and stunning collection of evidence provides solid grounding for reasonable and responsible belief in a super-intelligent, transcendent, creative power standing at the origins of our universe.

Ratings and reviews

Great philosophy but I found the middle chapters, especially when discussing concepts like infinity to be highly technical, like the author was focusing only on graduate students while forgetting the wider audience, the religious who might need this book as a resource to respond to their detractors. Overall, great philosophical material with meaning

Not the easiest read for the layman, but cogent, comfortable and informed about everything from the oldest ideas to the latest thinking about religion and science
