Review We can well understand that Dr. Hayward found this an exceptionally difficult book to write, which makes us all the more grateful that he under

took the task. It is quite easily the most important contribution to theistic evidential literature that has appeared this century. It helps us to realise how far we have travelled since Paley wrote his Evidences. What is particularly inspiring is the fact that the author himself is a committed Christian, and therefore is able to unite his experience with his scientific knowledge. Many will turn with expectancy to the chapter, "Why Christianity?" and be fortified as they read the impressive and (for many of us) final arguments for the Christian revelation of the almighty. Here is a book which should not only be in every college library, but on the bookshelves of every preacher of the Gospel. It is a book which answers some (if not all) of the many questions young people are asking at the present time, and which will carr! y greater weight and authority when it is recognised that it is not written by a professional theologian, but by a scientist who is also one who himself fervently believes what he argues so congently, for the benefit of others who may be faltering. -- Marcus Beverly, The Christian Herald 1979 Product Description A classic argument for the existence of God written by a British government research scientist. From the Publisher First published as "God is" by Marshall, Morgan and Scott in 1978, this is a revised and updated edition. The author develops the scientific arguments used in his earlier work 'God's Truth' - a defense of the Bible's historical reliability. Dr. Hayward, a physicist, but also a Bible-believing Christian, takes a middle path between orthodox evolutionary biology and the evangelical Creation Science movement and does not advocate 'young earth' or 'flood geology' ideas. The author has also written a more detailed treatment of this view in 'Creation and Evolution' (use Author Search to check Amazon.com for availability). About the Author Alan Hayward, a British physicist, has written several books on religion and science.
