Who Made God?: Searching for a Theory of Everything

All too often books that deal with deep philosophical questions lack connection to the absurdity and humor of every day life. This book, Who Created God does not suffer from that problem. This book, while intellectually engaging, also tackles the 'new atheism' of philosophers like Richard Dawkins with humor, wit, and yet remains highly informative, scholarly precise, and above all, is well written.

Presenting a robust argument for biblical theism as a positive, and as an altogether more convincing alternative to atheism, Edgar Andrews' work is as thoughtful and compelling, as it is entertaining and witty. Indeed, Robert Strivens, President of London theological Seminary, describes Andrews as "devastating in his critique of evolutionary atheism" and that he compellingly shows how a "right understanding of the scientific enterprise poses no threat to biblical Christianity.

This book is perfect for anyone who desires to understand this debate from the lay level, or who is questioning their own faith, and wants to see the arguments framed in a new way. A great read for anyone, especially for those wanting to understand and counteract the 'new atheism'.

Andrews, a physicist and engineer, sets out to prove his “hypothesis of God” in the world while dissing atheists (especially Richard Dawkins and Dawkins’s The God Delusion), skeptics and Christians who believe in evolution. Using his knowledge of modern science and the Bible (Andrews wrote two commentaries), he promotes his belief in the creation story as told in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. He weaves a tale of an omnipotent God and progressive revelation— “a gradual unveiling of [the] nature and purposes of God.” The author believes that creation appears out of eternity and he uses algebraic equations, quantum physics, the Bible and laws of nature to prove the existence of God. In history, Andrews asserts that miracles do occur, and they can explain what happens in the world that is beyond human belief. This is a simple book (using, for example, bicycle pumps and rubber bands to explain things) and a very complicated book (using the theory of relativity to explain things), sometimes in the same chapter. It is a difficult read and not for the amateur theologian or seeker looking for a personal God. (Sept.) Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
