Proof of God: The Shocking True Answer to the World's Most Important Question

Ptolemy Tompkins, collaborator on the New York Times bestselling Proof of Heaven and Proof of Angels, has teamed up with renowned astrophysicist Bernard Haisch to prove God's existence and show that His work is evident in the world around us. Is there a God? If so, does God care about us? Or is human life a mere accident of physics? For centuries, these fundamental questions have been integral to every culture and religion the world has known--and have not been answered, save by faith. When it comes to finding answers about how the universe came into existence, "God" is simply another theory. A theory that, many say, is no longer needed. In Proof of God, writer Ptolemy Tompkins (Publishers Weekly calls his writing "inspired") has joined forces with internationally acclaimed astrophysicist Bernard Haisch to demonstrate that not only is God real, but that it is science itself that proves it. Structured in seven compelling chapters examining core features of our universe (Gravity, Mass, Energy), Proof of God blows up the misconceptions put forth by recent "anti-religion" bestsellers. Written in simple, easy to understand language, it shows believers that far from being an enemy of their faith, science is, if anything, its greatest justification. Above all, it is a deeply personal narrative about a scientist's journey to understanding how God's fingerprints are all over our universe. In Proof of God, a committed seeker and a spiritual scientist come together to present a view of creation that makes it not only possible, but essential, to accept both science and God as true.

An influential astrophysicist and the former scientific editor of Astrophysical Journal proposes a theory that incorporates both scientific and religious world views, arguing that God is a scientifically plausible source of consciousness and that God and science can explain each other.

"Committed atheists, traditional Christians, or hard-core Muslims will no doubt try to dismiss this book. It is wide ranging, provocative, sometimes entertainingly whimsical, but always mind-stretching and logically solid. The Purpose-Guided Universe is one of those rare books that gives serious food for thought." Prof. Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, author of God's Universe "At a time when religion- and spirituality-bashing has become a blood sport within science, it is thrilling to read The Purpose-Guided Universe. Neither science nor theology can consider itself informed without taking into account Haisch's views." Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words "If you think that science has nothing to do with God, and vice versa, read this book--and you just may change your mind." Prof. Peter Sturrock, Dept. Physics, Stanford Univ. "Bernard Haisch is the latest entry on this promising scene: an eminent scientist turned profound philosopher. It merits being read and pondered by everyone seeks deeper meaning underlying science's ever more astounding view of the world." Dr. Ervin Laszlo, author of Science and the Akashic Field "The Purpose-Guided Universe is an enlightening exploration of creation and the human being's existence on Earth. The intricate, precise conditions necessary to sustain life have baffled even the most cynical scientists who do not accept a higher power. Dr. Haisch discusses the reasons for incorporating a nonthreatening and nondenominational God into scientific study. Using a practical, common-sense approach, he explains why belief in a universal force does not exclude or negate the theories of Einstein and Darwin." Julia Ann Charpentier, ForeWord Reviews In this engrossing new book, Dr. Bernard Haisch contends that there is a purpose and an underlying intelligence behind the Universe, one that is consistent with modern science, especially the Big Bang and evolution. It is based on recent discoveries that there are numerous coincidences and fine-tunings of the laws of nature that seem extraordinarily unlikely. A more rational concept of God is called for. As astrophysicist Sir James Jeans wrote, "the Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine." Despite bestsellers by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris that have denounced the evils of religion and proclaimed that science has shown that there is no God, The Purpose-Guided Universe shows how one can believe in God and science.
