God Is Proof Enough

The author tackles profound theological and philosophical issues facing today's generation from a Jewish perspective.

In this tour of the history of arguments for and against the existence of God, Nathan Schneider embarks on a remarkable intellectual, historical, and theological journey through the centuries of believers and unbelieversÑfrom ancient Greeks, to medieval Arabs, to todayÕs most eminent philosophers and the New Atheists. Framed by an account of SchneiderÕs own unique journey, God in Proof illuminates the great minds who wrestled with one of historyÕs biggest questions together with their arguments, bringing them to life in their time, and our own. SchneiderÕs sure-handed portrayal of the characters and ideas involved in the search for proof challenges how we normally think about doubt and faith while showing that, in their quest for certainty and the proofs to declare it, thinkers on either side of the God divide are often closer to one another than they would like to think.

"Proof of God is the unlikely story of how a serious scientist and a broken writer, in a series of conversations stretching over several months, come to understand that the universe--from the smallest sub-atomic particles that make up everything in existence to the farthest reaches of the universe--bears evidence of a creator. In short, God not only exists, but science gives us tools to know this."--

Lisa works for Dr. Jane Kendall, a research scientist at a small college. After Lisa credits God for helping her win a series of coin-toss bets with Mike, Dr. Kendall?s grad student, the scientist asks Lisa to be part of a series of experiments to definitively prove the existence of God. All involved expect it to lead to nothing, but Lisa passes every test perfectly, always getting the toss right. Now the scientists have to explain the results. If there is no God, then how did Lisa do it? And if there is a God, then what does that mean for each of them?

We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

Does God exist? How do I know? Let me ask you, does darkness exist? Does ignorance exist? Does evil exist? I am sure everyone would agree that darkness, ignorance, and evil exist. My answer is darkness, ignorance and evil don't exist on their own... darkness exists because of the lack of light... Ignorance exists because of the lack of knowledge...And evil exists because of the lack of God... A logical approach to the question of God's existence. Not religious, but scientific and logical proof written by an engineer, not a priest. God and religions often have nothing to do with each other. Whether you are an atheist, a believer, or someone between, I was a doubtful believer...I was also a doubtful atheist...I was always doubtful and conflicted spiritually...Then I found God in such an unusual way... No nothing to do with religions... In fact, I am not religious at all and I have no religious affiliation and I am still not religious... Read the "PROOF" supported only by logic and natural laws. I am not a preacher...I am an engineer...I am inclined to digest things analytically and logically... I concluded that God must exist 1000%... All my doubts disappeared...I want to share this proof with other people who are drowning in their spiritual doubts... I want to share this "proof" with every human soul searching for the truth...Often when people are asked: Does God exist? The answer would be mostly "yes, no, maybe" without being able to give a logical explanation. They might try to refer to the Bible or come out with some unsatisfying explanation. Faith or the lack of faith is not proof! Confused? You don't know what to believe or not to believe? Too busy making a living and wondering if living has any purpose besides existing? You're not alone. Whether you are an atheist, a believer, or someone between, you might not fully believe in God nor can you simply deny him once for all. You feel drowning in an ocean of doubt and purposeless life neither faith alone nor the lack of it could resolve. If you are not that sure, then this is a must-read book for you. Read the "Proof".. It's hard to believe in God because everything in our human minds has a beginning and an end. Therefore, it's impossible to believe in any eternal thing. Thus, we think God must not exist, right? But God is not a "thing" natural laws can be applied to him. If he's a "thing", then he's not God. We cannot understand God; if we can, then he's not God. God cannot be defined; to define God is to limit him. He's the cause of all causes without being caused. From him, all things came into existence. A thing cannot create itself when it does not exist! While it's impossible to understand God, I wrote this book to share my experience with every yearning soul in search to know God. He's absolute and eternal... He has no equals, no partners, and no comparables... He's God... The one God... the only God... The Almighty God.

Does God exist? This is probably the most debated question in the history of mankind. Scholars, scientists, and philosophers have spent their lifetimes trying to prove or disprove the existence of God, only to have their theories crucified by other scholars, scientists, and philosophers. Where the debate breaks down is in the ambiguities and colloquialisms of language. But, by using a universal, unambiguous language—namely, mathematics—can this question finally be answered definitively? That’s what Dr. Stephen Unwin attempts to do in this riveting, accessible, and witty book, The Probability of God. At its core, this groundbreaking book reveals how a math equation developed more than 200 years ago by noted European philosopher Thomas Bayes can be used to calculate the probability that God exists. The equation itself is much more complicated than a simple coin toss (heads, He’s up there running the show; tails, He’s not). Yet Dr. Unwin writes with a clarity that makes his mathematical proof easy for even the nonmathematician to understand and a verve that makes his book a delight to read. Leading you carefully through each step in his argument, he demonstrates in the end that God does indeed exist. Whether you’re a devout believer and agree with Dr. Unwin’s proof or are unsure about all things divine, you will find this provocative book enlightening and engaging. “One of the most innovative works [in the science and religion movement] is The Probability of God...An entertaining exercise in thinking.”—Michael Shermer, Scientific American “Unwin’s book [is] peppered with wry, self-deprecating humor that makes the scientific discussions more accessible...Spiritually inspiring.”--Chicago Sun Times “A pleasantly breezy account of some complicated matters well worth learning about.”--Philadelphia Inquirer “One of the best things about the book is its humor.”--Cleveland Plain Dealer “In a book that is surprisingly lighthearted and funny, Unwin manages to pack in a lot of facts about science and philosophy.”--Salt Lake Tribune

Where is the proof? Why believe in something if there is no evidence? Also, why believe in something when there is evidence that runs contrary to a particular belief? This is basic logic and a reason why most deny a deity. Most who deny a deity argue there is no evidence. Also they point to scientific evidence to validate their skepticism.However, what if there is evidence and evidence that is overwhelming? Those who deny a deity have every right to demand evidence. Yet, what will they do when they are provided proof? The Bible advocates a God who is sovereign. If this is true everything points to his existence.God is not hiding, he wants to be known. BURDEN OF PROOF: Using Known Concepts to Reveal Eternal Truths, was written to identify the evidence of God's existence.The author answers forty thought-provoking questions that highlight the eternal truths of Scripture. Thus proving that the burden of proof does not lie with those who believe in God but with those who don't.
