Belief in God

FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's most famous atheist
is among the distinguished group of Nobel Prize-winning scientists and religious
leaders who are praising Varghese’s latest work. Professor Antony Flew has for
over 50 years led the world in atheist thought and debate. Why then is he now
praising a book harmonizing science and belief in God?

Varghese presents a dialogue between a Hindu theist (Guru) and a Jewish atheist
(Geek) on the origin of things: the universe and its laws, life, consciousness
and mind, vision, reproduction and language. Key to the framework of modern
science, these questions are tricky and inevitably controversial. Wonder
has been strongly commended by a most extraordinary variety of thinkers: the
Nobel Prize-winners who made two of the greatest discoveries of the twentieth
century, the best-known atheist in the English-speaking world, leaders in the
dialogue about belief in God and prominent Jewish, theistic
Hindu and Christian thinkers. This is quite remarkable in light of "Wonder"'s
central claim: of all the great discoveries of modern science, the greatest
is God.

One Nobel Prize-winning scientist, Charles Townes, writes:

"This is no doctrinaire treatise, but a sensitive, profound and clear
discussion of the important issues of our universe and our existence, including
questions, answers, and uncertainties. It is written with a deep understanding
of philosophy, spirituality, and the complex science involved, yet expressed
in a way which is interesting and very understandable to the non-specialist."

Arno Penzias who won the Nobel Prize for his discoveries confirming the Big
Bang theory says:

"Though I found myself arguing with both protagonists, the issues raised
and Guru's lucid outline of modern science's framework of understanding helped
me to challenge and refine my own answers to the ultimate questions that each
one of us must ask."

Professor Flew is the most intriguing commentator on the book. The outspoken
British atheist set the agenda for the critique of religion in the Fifties through
his "Theology and Falsification." Flew has debated a wide range of
theists starting with C.S. Lewis at Oxford. In commenting on Wonder,
Flew notes that the God of natural theology cannot be identified with the God
of a revelation but sees the origin of life as a key problem for atheism, one
which is not sufficiently acknowledged by fellow atheists. Flew later comments,
"I intend to reread The Wonder of the World at leisure. I was
hugely impressed and substantially challenged by it."

Roy Abraham Varghese previously won a Templeton Book Prize for Outstanding
Books in Science and Religion. The Wonder of the World is his most
expansive work.
