Is There Evidence for God?: An Economist Searches for Answers

Sooner or later every thinking person wonders about God. Does God exist, or is he simply a figment of our imagination? If God exists, what is he like? For most of my life, my answers were based on what others had told me. Although I was curious about God and religion, I never took the time and effort necessary to explore such matters.
As an economist who has written five books, I had spent more than half a century researching complex economic issues. I decided it was time to embark on what would become my most ambitious project ever, the search for evidence for God and answers to the big questions in life.
While there are many ways to search for God, my approach had to be different. It would be logical and systematic. I would approach the project as Mr. Spock, the fictional character from Star Trek, who would meticulously examine evidence, weigh the odds, and reach a logical conclusion.
My approach involved examining atheists' views, looking into evidence for life after death, searching for the evidence surrounding the world's religions, and exploring post-Biblical evidence for God.
My quest lasted many years. It had all the sensations of an Indiana Jones movie-frightening discoveries, sleepless nights, and fulfilling Ah-ha! moments with background music. There were unpleasant moments when I became terribly discouraged and depressed, times when I wanted to throw in the towel, took time off and even considered quitting. This book takes you through my search for the evidence for God. If you decide to come along, I must warn you-a quest for evidence of God can produce some disturbing discoveries. If you are anything like me, there will be times you will wish you never started, times you question long-held beliefs, times you want to quit, and times you'll be glad you didn't.
I invite you to join me on what became the journey of a lifetime, my search for evidence for God. Check out my website MyEvidenceforGod.com and my Facebook page devoted to MyEvidenceforGod
