God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

From: $13.49

Throughout history, arguments for and against the existence of God have been largely confined to philosophy and theology. In the meantime, science has sat on the sidelines and quietly watched this game of words march up and down the field. Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life and greatly clarified our understanding of the world, somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being, which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality. Physicist Victor J. Stenger contends that, if God exists, some evidence for this existence should be detectable by scientific means, especially considering the central role that God is alleged to play in the operation of the universe and the lives of humans. Treating the traditional God concept, as conventionally presented in the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions, like any other scientific hypothesis, Stenger examines all of the claims made for God's existence. He considers the latest Intelligent Design arguments as evidence of God's influence in biology. He looks at human behavior for evidence of immaterial souls and the possible effects of prayer. He discusses the findings of physics and astronomy in weighing the suggestions that the universe is the work of a creator and that humans are God's special creation. After evaluating all the scientific evidence, Stenger concludes that beyond a reasonable doubt the universe and life appear exactly as we might expect if there were no God.

I have been a long term reader-thinker of and about the "God" question etc. I found that "Hypothesis" was a review of much of what I had already learned but the material was very well organized for the author's purpose. The last point made (Why...

People 2000 years ago knew nothing about the universe so they made sh#t up. They were a frightened, ignorant people who, without the scientific tools we have today, explained things through creative writing. Of course I can't prove that god...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 02, 2008 Type: User Review God told me this book is wrong, but I don't believe Him

Who can disprove me, and why should anyone even care to?

All desperate yearning for purpose and meaning aside, this seems such a useless pursuit. I keep my rating in the middle, on account of the possibility that all of these God...

Coming this late to the party, I better have something non-redundant to contribute. Actually, I read back through the hundred-and-some reviews and appended commentaries (Whew!), and on that basis, I recommend three critics of Stenger's book for...
