“WHEN SCIENTISTS INVESTIGATE THE PHYSICAL WORLD, provided they ask the right questions and adopt good, sound scientific methodology, nature has no alternative but to yield up its secrets. But applying that methodology to God is not a guarantee of success. God might simply decide not to co-operate...”

Down the centuries there have been various attempts to prove the existence of God, and to demonstrate God’s action in the world. Russell Stannard, the distinguished physicist and author, looks at what modern science can bring to the discussion. Are the difficulties of ‘knowing’ God the same difficulties physicists now confront in ‘knowing’ the physical world?

Comparing the latest scientific theories and age-old religious thinking, Stannard produces some startling parallels. He examines Creationism and the Big Bang, Biblical miracles and Quantum physics, and the idea of an omniscient God in the context of 4D spacetime. Written in a clear and lucid way, The God Experiment is a fascinating challenge to our assumptions about God, science and our place in the Universe.
