When I Consider Your Heavens

<p>In this thought-provoking book Antony Latham shows how science and philosophy provide evidence for the existence of God. There was a beginning of the universe which requires an explanation beyond itself. The exquisite fine-tuning of the physical laws necessary for life has all the hallmarks of design. Paleontology and biology show unmistakable signs of an intelligence behind life. Consciousness and free-will inexplicable in purely physical terms point to something beyond the material. The philosophy of beauty and morality leads us to an author of both. He argues that the universe is 'open'-not simply the interaction of matter and energy but a realm where miracles can happen. The evidence for the greatest miracle in history the resurrection of Jesus is carefully presented.</p><p></p><p><strong>What Others Say About This Book:</strong></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Drawing on contemporary philosophy and science Dr. Latham has written an accessible and lively introduction to a wide range of reasons for diagnosing the Universe as God's creation.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>-</span><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Peter S.
