So which God is it that emerges at the end of the book's journey through modern science? Is it the Hindu or Jewish, Christian or Islamic God? The answer quite simply is that it is the God known to all human beings rather than by any specific religion or theology. This "pre-religious" awareness of God is well described by Christianity's Apostle Paul: "For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them [all human beings]. Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made." (Epistle to the Romans, Chapter 1, Verses 19-20). As universally understood, God is an omnipresent, omniscient, eternal, immutable, infinitely perfect, personal, simple Spirit. These are the attributes of God that must be accepted by adherents of any theistic religion. Hence the book ends simply with this Theos who is common to every theistic creed.

Once the reader accepts God's existence and infinite being, the next step is a discussion of claims of revelation from God. Which such claim is persuasive and valid? The Wonder of the World does not delve into this discussion but enables it to commence. There's no point talking about God's revelation if you don't first accept God's existence. Wonder tries to show that God's infinitely perfect existence makes sense of our experience and fulfills rationality. Modern science is often portrayed as challenging and refuting any claim of God's existence. Wonder points out that science presupposes and confirms the reality of an infinite Intelligence. At the end of the day, the work is a resource for theists of every stripe. At the very least, all theists, regardless of their other differences, have an obligation to jointly glorify the infinite Source of all being ("They have no excuse," as Paul forcefully puts it, "For although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks." Romans 1:20-1). Wonder facilitates this edifying celebration of Creator and creation while opening the door to the next round of fruitful dialogues on the divine Plan for humanity.
