"The growth of science and a correspondingly scientific way of looking at evidence
have for the last three centuries slowly been gaining ground over religious explanations
of the cosmos and mankind's place in it. However, not only is secularism now under
renewed attack from religious fundamentalism, but it has also been widely claimed
that the scientific evidence itself points strongly to a universe deliberately fine-tuned
for life to evolve in it. In addition, certain aspects of human life, like consciousness
and the ability to recognise the existence of universal moral standards, seem completely
resistant to evolutionary explanation. In this book Colin Howson analyses in detail
the evidence which is claimed to support belief in God's existence and argues that
the claim is not well-founded. Moreover, there is very compelling evidence that an
all-powerful, all-knowing God not only does not exist but cannot exist, a conclusion
both surprising and provocative"--
