God's Grandeur

The world--indeed, the universe--is charged with grandeur. Everything speaks of its beauty, power, and purpose--of its exquisite and intelligent design. Yet many scientists today flatly deny that the world was intelligently designed. Even some Christian scientists and theologians downplay or deny the evidence nature supplies of intelligent design, especially in biology. This thought-provoking anthology shows why they are wrong, why it matters, and why intelligent design provides a compelling way to reconcile science and faith in today's culture. Edited by biologist Ann Gauger, God's Grandeur features chapters by an array of distinguished Catholic scientists, philosophers, theologians, and laypeople, presenting convincing scientific evidence of intelligent design in cosmology, the origin of life, and biology. It clears up common misunderstandings about how Catholic theology relates to debates over science, evolution, and intelligent design, offering a blueprint for understanding the intricate harmony between faith and scientific inquiry.
