    Why Science Does Not Disprove God

    Amir D. Aczel

    The renowned science writer, mathematician, and bestselling author of Fermat's Last Theorem masterfully refutes the overreaching claims 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.

    Soon after its debut at the time of the Civil War, the Gatling gun changed the nature of warfare and the course of world history. Discharging 200 shots per minute with alarming accuracy, the world's first machine gun became vitally important to protecting and expanding America's overseas interests. Its inventor, Richard Gatling, was famous in his own time for creating and improving many industrial designs, from bicycles and steamship propellers to flush toilets, though it was the gun design that would make his name immortal. A man of great business and scientific acumen, Gating used all the resources of the new mass age to promote sales across America and around the world. Ironically, Gatling actually proposed his gun as a way of saving lives, thinking it would decrease the size of armies and, therefore, make it easier to supply soldiers and reduce malnutrition deaths. The scientists who unleashed America's atomic arsenal less than a century later would see it much the same way.

    The year is 1806 – a baby boy has just been born in a small English coastal town. This child was born into a world without the lightbulb, without cars; a world in which only two years previously mankind had discovered that steam could be used to power a locomotive engine. This was a time of rapid change – the industrial revolution was beginning and one of the world's greatest and most inventive minds was about to make history. 
     
    He would become one of the leading figures of this new technological age, helping to bring the world out of the darkness of the previous centuries, and into a new era of progress. 
     
    He was a visionary – an engineer and inventor of unparalleled ingenuity and ambition. With his railway projects he would conquer rivers, mountains, and vast stretches of land. His oceanic projects would produce the largest and most powerful ships the world had ever seen – helping thousands of people to bridge the continents and bringing mankind closer than ever before. His architectural projects would serve as testament to the ingenuity of mankind and would stamp his legacy upon the landscape. But his legacy endures in more than his constructions and inventions – his genius would come to inspire whole generations of new engineers, architects, and scientists – his legacy lives on all around us. 
     
    So, join us now, as we trace his story from its very beginnings – join us on an exploration of the life and times of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
