The Latest Results in the Search for Purpose in the Universe","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the past few years a number of scientists have claimed that there is credible scientific evidence for the existence of God. In 1998 Newsweek went so far as to proclaim on its cover, \"Science Finds God.\" Is this true? Are scientists close to solving the greatest of all mysteries? Physicist Victor J. Stenger delves into this fascinating question from a skeptical point of view in this lucid and engrossing presentation of the key scientific facts.\u003cbr\u003e\nStenger critically reviews the attempts of many contemporary theologians and some scientists to resurrect failed natural theologies in new guises. Whether these involve updated arguments from design, \"anthropic\" coincidences, or modern forms of deism, Stenger clearly shows that nothing in modern science requires supernatural explanation. He offers naturalistic explanations for empirical observations that are frequently given theistic interpretations: for example, that information in the universe implies an intelligent designer, that a universe with a beginning requires a Creator, and that the elegant laws of physics suggest a transcendent realm. He shows that alleged spiritual, nonmaterial phenomena do not lie beyond the experimental reach of physics.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis thorough and careful consideration of scientific evidence covers much ground yet remains accessible and highly informative to the educated lay reader., ISBN13: 9781591020189 ISBN10: 1591020182 Material Type: hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46111741345955,"sku":"MT-STR_UBD_H0000T46","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/61WbzGLsPNL.jpg?v=1754638388"},{"product_id":"with-the-grain-of-the-universe-the-churchs-witness-and-natural-theology","title":"With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural Theology","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"America's Best Theologian\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Hauerwas is contemporary theology's foremost intellectual provocateur.\"--Time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStanley Hauerwas is a no-nonsense, confessional Christian theologian whose scholarship, sometimes disputed yet always demanding a response, has earned him a prominent reputation on the theological horizon. Brazos Press is proud to present With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural Theology, Hauerwas's distinguished Gifford lectures at the University of St. Andrews (2001).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese lectures explore how natural theology, divorced from a confessional doctrine of God, inevitably distorts our understanding of God's character and the world in which we live. Hauerwas criticizes those who use natural theology to defend theism as the philosophical prerequisite to confessional claims. Instead, after Karl Barth, he argues that natural theology should witness to \"the non-Godforsakeness of the world, even under the conditions of sin.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStanley Hauerwas has good news for the church: theology can still tell us something significant about the way things are. In fact, the church is more than a social institution, and the cross of Christ, never peripheral, is central to knowing God. Whatever our native moral intelligence, the truth that is God is not available apart from moral transformation. Ultimately--and despite the scars left by modernity--theology must translate into a life transformed by confession and the witness of the church., ISBN13: 9781587430169 ISBN10: 1587430169 Material Type: hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46111749374115,"sku":"AZ_STR_H0000BUY","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/41KX7QG8HBL.jpg?v=1754638720"},{"product_id":"why-god-wont-go-away-brain-science-and-the-biology-of-belief","title":"Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy have we humans always longed to connect with something larger than ourselves? Even today in our technologically advanced age, more than seventy percent of Americans claim to believe in God. Why, in short, won’t God go away?

In the original section of the book, now entitled “God―An Infantile Illusion?,” Hans Küng traces Freud’s views on religion and religious longing, compares Jung’s and Adler’s attitudes toward religion, shows that Freud’s arguments against the existence of God are theologically unsound, and concludes with a frank and provocative discussion of what psychoanalysis may be able to teach the Christian Church. In a new section, “Religion―The Final Taboo?,” Küng points out that religions still plays a negligible role in the practice of psychoanalysis, despite its increasing importance in the lives of most people.
