In this compelling new edition, Richard Swinburne, one of the most distinguished
philosophers of religion today, argues that contrary to the claims of Richard
Dawkins and others, science actually provides good grounds for belief in God.
Why is there a universe at all? Why is there any life on Earth? How is it that
discoverable scientific laws operate in the universe? Swinburne uses scientific
reasoning to argue that the best answers to these questions are given by the
existence of God. The picture of the universe that science gives us is completed
by God. This updated edition features a new, stronger argument as to why theism
does - and materialism does not - provide a very simple ultimate explanation of
the world. And Swinburne also now examines the idea of the possible existence
of many other universes, and its relevance to his arguments from the fine-tuning
of our universe to the existence of God. Powerful, modern, and accessible,
Is There a God? is must reading for anyone interested in an intelligent and
approachable defense of the existence of God.
