The bestselling author “wields impressive intellectual weapons in
demolishing the New Atheists’ claims that science has disproven the
existence of God” (Booklist, starred review). The renowned science
writer, mathematician, and bestselling author of Fermat’s Last
Theorem masterfully refutes the overreaching claims of the “New
Atheists,” providing millions of educated believers with a clear,
engaging explanation of what science really says, how there’s
still much space for the Divine in the universe, and why faith in both
God and empirical science are not mutually exclusive. A highly
publicized coterie of scientists and thinkers, including Richard
Dawkins, the late Christopher Hitchens, and Lawrence Krauss, have
vehemently contended that breakthroughs in modern science have
disproven the existence of God, asserting that we must accept that the
creation of the universe came out of nothing, that religion is evil,
that evolution fully explains the dazzling complexity of life, and
more. In this much-needed book, science journalist Amir Aczel
profoundly disagrees and conclusively demonstrates that science has
not, as yet, provided any definitive proof refuting the existence of
God. Why Science Does Not Disprove God is his brilliant and incisive
analyses of the theories and findings of such titans as Albert
Einstein, Roger Penrose, Alan Guth, and Charles Darwin, all of whose
major breakthroughs leave open the possibility—and even the strong
likelihood—of a Creator. Bolstering his argument, Aczel lucidly
discourses on arcane aspects of physics to reveal how quantum theory,
the anthropic principle, the fine-tuned dance of protons and quarks,
the existence of anti-matter and the theory of parallel universes,
also fail to disprove God. “[An] intelligent and stimulating
book.” —The Washington Post
