When I Consider Your Heavens - Latham, Antony

. .

Résumé :
In this thought-provoking book, Antony Latham shows how science and philosophy provide evidence for the existence of God. There was a beginning of the universe, which requires an explanation beyond itself. The exquisite fine-tuning of the physical laws necessary for life has all the hallmarks of design. Paleontology and biology show unmistakable signs of an intelligence behind life. Consciousness and free-will, inexplicable in purely physical terms, point to something beyond the material. The philosophy of beauty and morality leads us to an author of both. He argues that the universe is 'open'-not simply the interaction of matter and energy, but a realm where miracles can happen. The evidence for the greatest miracle in history, the resurrection of Jesus, is carefully presented. What Others Say About This Book: Drawing on contemporary philosophy and science, Dr. Latham has written an accessible and lively introduction to a wide range of reasons for diagnosing the Universe as God's creation. -Peter S. Williams, author of A Universe from Someone: Essays on Natural Theology (Wipf and Stock, 2022) In succinct prose, Dr. Antony Latham summarizes the compelling reasons given by science and philosophy for the existence of God. I heartily recommend it to anyone who is wondering about this most important question of our lives. -Michael J. Behe, author of Darwin's Black Box An excellent primer on the many reasons why advances in science and our human experience of moral feelings and beauty point us to the existence of God. -Dr Trevor Stammers, author of The Ethics of Global Organ Acquisition: Moral Arguments about Transplantation and co-editor of The Ethics of Generating Post-humans, Bloomsbury About the Author:Antony Latham is a retired family doctor with nine years of experience working in hospitals in East Africa.
