Publisher's Description

▼▲

This book, in a clear and succinct way, assesses the implications of contemporary physics for speaking about God's relation to the time-space world. Mark William Worthing describes the critique of traditional arguments for the existence of God by physicists:

God and creation out of nothing in relation to the Big Bang theory;

God and continuing creation in relation to field theory, Bell's theorem, providence, entropy, and theodicy;

God and the consummation of creation.
