Facing the clash between science and faith, this book argues for a sustaining belief in God in a modern world.

It surveys the rise of agnostic science and its influence on how people think about truth, meaning, and the future. The author offers a thoughtful alternative to purely secular explanations, inviting readers to consider how faith can provide purpose, hope, and moral grounding.

Through clear, accessible discussion, the work examines evolution, the problem of evil, and the role of religion in public life. It contrasts scientific theories with the enduring appeal of a Creator and a personal relationship with the divine, while addressing common doubts without oversimplifying them. The text aims to help readers navigate contemporary doubts and find a framework that respects reason and faith alike.

Explains how agnostic science influenced 19th‑ and early 20th‑century thinking about truth and progress
Contends with evolution as a theory and presents a faith‑based alternative about human origin
Addresses the problem of evil and the comforting role of revealed religion
Offers practical reflections on faith’s relevance in daily life and modern society

Ideal for readers interested in the dialogue between science and faith, and for those exploring how belief can endure in a changing world.
