God Is Here to Stay: Science Evolution and Belief in God

Description: God Is Here to Stay offers new insights into one of humankinds most profound questions: Does God exist? During the past ten years theists and new atheists have argued to prove or disprove Gods existence. Examining the pros and cons of each side leads to one overarching conclusion: The existence of God can be neither proven nor disproven with complete certainty even though both sides draw on modern science to support their views. Drs. Thomas R. McFaul and Al Brunsting approach the question of Gods existence from an entirely fresh perspective. They examine scientific knowledge in several areas ranging across the physical sciences and human experience to explain how the universe operates within very narrow and highly structured boundaries. Most importantly they create an innovative L-M Confidence Scale to establish confidence levels not proofs on how scientific discoveries impact belief in God. McFaul and Brunsting describe the three stages of scientific evolution. In stage 1 the worlds religions developed divergent pre-scientific views. Modern science started with stage 2 during which atheists predicted that science would eventually eradicate religion. In stage 3 the authors show how science evolution and belief in God have become increasingly integrated and mutually supportive.
