God and Stephen Hawking by John C. Lennox ~ Book Review | Thoughts ...

God And Stephen Hawking by John C. Lennox? is a small but?powerful book.?? Stephen Hawking has been called the world?s most famous living scientist.? He recently retired from a position at Lucasian Professorship in Cambridge, once held by Sir Issac Newton.? Hawking?s book The Grand Design is his contribution to the New Atheist debate?which claims that the laws of physics themselves brought the universe into being, not God.? He denies the existence of God or even a Supreme Being.?? John Lennox, an Oxford mathematician, dissects Hawking?s logic and then places it under a microscope to see if this logic will hold up under scrutiny.? John Lennox?s presentation is simple and the language is clear enough for a high school student to understand. As a home school parent, I highly recommend this book as a supplement to science?education for teens through adults.?

Lennox examines these statements from Hawking:

• The universe can and will create itself out of nothing.
• Our universe and its laws appear to have a design that both is tailor-made to support us and, if we are to exist, leaves little room for alteration.? But to believe that there is a Designer is old and outdated.
• Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.
• Given the state of the universe at one time, a complete set of laws fully determines both the future and the past.? That would exclude the possibility of miracles or an active role for God.
• The laws of nature know no exceptions, thus there are no miracles.

If you have?personal questions or are in discussion with one who is questioning God?s existence, this book is for you.? It is concise and in layman?s terms, absent of deep scientific terminology.??John Lennox demonstrates that?the more one studies Hawking?s theories, the more proof is uncovered of God?s existence.??

?John C. Lennox is Fellow in Mathematics and the Philosophy of Science at the University of Oxford, and author of the bestselling God?s Undertaker. He lectures on faith and science at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. He has lectured around the world, including in the United States for Ravi Zacharias; in Austria; and in the former Soviet Union.

Thanks to John C. Lennox, Lion Hudson Publications, and Kregal Publications for my free copy in exchange for my honest review.
