DESCRIPTION:
After evaluating all the scientific evidence, Stenger concludes that beyond a reasonable doubt the universe and life appear exactly as we might expect if there were no God.. He discusses the findings of physics and astronomy in weighing the suggestions that the universe is the work of a creator and that humans are God's special creation. Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life and greatly clarified our understanding of the world, somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being, which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality. He considers the latest Intelligent Design arguments as evidence of God's influence in biology. Treating the traditional God concept, as conventionally presented in the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions, like any other scientific hypothesis, physicist Stenger examines all of the claims made for God's existence. Throughout history, arguments for and against the existence of God have been largely confined to philosophy and theology, while science has sat on the sidelines. He looks at human behavior for evidence of immaterial souls and the possible effects of prayer. This book contends that, if God exists, some evidence for this existence should be detectable by scientific means, especially considering the central role that God is alleged to play in the operation of the universe and the lives of humans

Stenger's overall thesis is this: That God is a testable hypothesis, therefore falsifiable; To say that God is a testable hypothesis is to say that God can be formulated in the scientific model in accordance to what most believers believe about God (given that there is sufficient consensus). The function of scientific models is to both explai. "A fantastic book for anyone who is searching for truth and facts rather than mysticism when it comes to this subject." according to Joseph J. Truncale. I have read numerous books over the years on this particular topic and what struck my interest in this volume (God: The failed hypothesis: How science shows that God does not exist by Victor J. Stenger) was it takes not so much a philosophical approach, even though the standard arguments are included, but a pure scientific approach to this subject God..
