Designed to Evolve: Discovering God through Modern Science (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692429877)

Why do we exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? Designed to Evolve examines the question of existence in light of modern science. From the birth of the universe 13.8 billion years ago, to the intricacy of the DNA molecule, nature is explored at the most fundamental level. Two possible explanations emerge. Are we the result of chance or designed for a purpose? There has never been a time when more information on origins has been available. Now we can probe this question and take a critical look at the nature of existence. In the end, the evidence for purpose prevails. Designed to Evolve presents the modern rational for a creator, compiled from the science of our day. Recent discoveries have exposed new lines of evidence for God. Modern versions of traditional arguments still hold true. Big bang cosmology, particle physics, natural history, and biology are analyzed in a vivid chronology of the universe, revealing the beauty of creation and making the sciences of origin comprehensible to the non-scientist. This digs deep into the specific evidence and is backed up by references from many scientific journals, books, and other publications. The opposing view is not neglected. A stroke of chance on infinite scales of time have been the mainstay of atheist ideology, including the many multiverse scenarios, unguided evolution, and the apparent disconnect between science and religion. The lines of reason often used in support of atheism are examined in detail. Yet, in the end, faith may be a required element of non-belief, given the amassing evidence. The implications of some quantum phenomena reveal the nature of God and hint at the existence of the soul. Biblical creation is shown to align closely with geology and the fossil record. Designed to Evolve presents a compelling depiction of creation that embraces modern science. Whether you believe, believe with doubts, consider yourself undecided, or are an atheist, this book will help you to have a fully informed view. Designed to Evolve provides clear, credible, and verifiable evidence that represents the most complete scientific assessment for the existence of God.
