Science and Reason's Case for a Creator

Which is true? Evolution, creation...or both?

Are we no more than a momentary, meaningless collision of molecules? Or do we owe our existence to a Creator, who has willed us (and everything else) into being, and who has a plan and a purpose for our lives?

The Reality of God addresses these all-important questions by providing an introductory overview of key scientific evidence, philosophical reasons, and insights drawn from human nature demonstrating God's existence.

In simple, accessible language, and well-supported by scientific experts, author Steven Hemler guides the reader through the most compelling evidence for the existence of God. Hemler shows how natural sciences such as biology, chemistry and physics - far from disproving religious belief - suggest and reveal the existence of a Creator at every turn.
