Product Description
Given the great historical context in which Corey frames his case and the rational manner in which he closes off the loopholes, the stage is set for paradigm shift in the secular area. I highly recommend this book.-Hugh Ross, Astronomer

Reader Reviews
This review is from: God and the New Cosmology (Hardcover) With a background in science and having been trained in theology at Claremont, which is well-known for its contribution to process theology, M.A. Corey is well-qualified to discuss how recent scientific discoveries support a belief in the God of classical theism. Indeed, the case which Corey presents is very persuasive. Corey demonstrates how extremely unlikely the existence of human beings would be unless there is an intelligent designer of the universe who very carefully chose the precise conditions that were necessary for the evolution of intelligent life. In my opinion after reading Corey's book, it would take a great leap of faith NOT to believe in an intelligent Designer of the universe. The tremendous amount of evidence that Corey skillfully marshalls in support of his argument is very persuasive.If there is any weakness in this book, it might be Corey's tendency to overstate his case. He comes very close to saying that there is no other interpretation of the evidence that makes sense other than his theistic interpretation. This is not, however, the case. Many brilliant scientists, such as the late Carl Sagan, are aware of the evidence that Corey discusses, but are not persuaded that God exists. Corey could have been a little more sympathetic to the arguments of skeptics.Nonetheless, this is a fun book to read. And, while natural theology has been out of fashion since the time of David Hume, and only a few theologians (such as Wolfhart Pannenberg) have had the courage to address the relationshipof science and theology, M.A. Corey hasdemonstrated in his book that the concept of God the Creator is still relevant in the late 20th century.
