If God made the Universe you should see his fingerprints all over it - in science, in our experience of life, in the way human beings function together, in the past and in the future. Dr. Nick Hawkes ranges widely across science and society, history and mathematics to seek out the signature of God. By surveying the various fields of study, he gathers a cumulative stack of evidence concluding that faith in God is reasonable and that the evidence invites it. Who Ordered this Universe? is an attempt to ask the big meta-questions: Dr. Nick Hawkes considers the cosmos and the arguments for a Creator behind creation. He looks at biology, and the ideas of Darwin and Dr. Richard Dawkins. He examines the significance of suffering and the phenomenon of mathematics - the code by which we understand how things work. He sifts through history and how it has been 'molded'. He considers the nature of truth, and whether it is ever knowable, and if so how; and he takes a long, hard look at ideas about the afterlife. What we believe is important. It defines us. It becomes our identity; something we stake our very lives upon. Who Ordered this Universe? is essential reading for those battling with identity and their place in the world.
It is the ideal gift for a non-Christian friend.
