Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, says Who made God? is {u2018}written in a very lively style and conveys complex subjects in a palatable form{u2019}. Novelist Fay Weldon calls it {u2018}thoughtful, readable, witty, wise{u2019}. The Principal of London Theological Seminary declares: {u2018}Richard Dawkins has more than met his match.{u2019} A book by a distinguished scientist about the existence of God, with chapter headings like {u2018}Steam engine to the stars{u2019} and {u2018}The tidy pachyderm{u2019} has to be different. It is. Addressing profound questions of science, philosophy and faith with an amazing lightness of touch, Edgar Andrews exposes the pretensions of the {u2018}new atheism{u2019}, blending incisive arguments with gentle humour. However, his aim is not simply to rebut the aggressive atheism of our age but to provide a logically consistent and altogether more satisfying alternative. His fellow physicists dream of discovering a {u2018}theory of everything{u2019} embracing every physical phenomenon in the cosmos. But can there be a theory of everything that also includes the realms of the heart, mind, conscience and spirit? Yes, indeed, as this book shows. It is the {u2018}hypothesis of God{u2019}, a concept that towers above the barren landscape of atheism and despair

If you've been waiting for a really effective riposte to the "new atheism" of Richard Dawkins and others (or even if you haven't) here it is -- gently humorous, highly readable, deeply serious, razor sharp, and written by an internationally respected scientist. Who made God? dismantles the arguments and pretensions of scientific atheism and presents a robust biblical theism as a positive, and altogether more convincing, alternative. - Publisher
