About this ebook

This book treats the existence of God as a question of evidence, examined the way a careful juror weighs a case: not through a single decisive proof, but through nine separate lines of evidence drawn from cosmology, biology, mathematics, neuroscience, ethics, and ordinary human experience.

Each chapter takes up one piece of evidence on its own terms. A universe that began to exist. Physical constants set with improbable precision for stars and chemistry. A genetic code inside every living cell. A mind capable of grasping mathematics it never needed in order to survive. The unexplained fact of consciousness. A sense of right and wrong that persists even in people who argue it does not exist. An ache for meaning that outlasts every success. Beauty and love that exceed what survival requires. And the testimony of people across every culture and century who report a direct encounter with God.

Every argument is presented in its strongest form, then met by its strongest objection, drawn from named philosophers and scientists, atheists and skeptics included, whose challenges are given full and fair treatment rather than dismissed. Where a piece of evidence is weaker or more disputed than it first appears, the book says so directly.

Written for skeptics, believers, and the genuinely undecided, this book lays out nine strands of evidence, chapter by chapter, and leaves the final verdict to the reader.
