Science at the Doorstep to God: Science and Reason in Support of God, the Soul, and Life After Death

Today, there is more science-based evidence for God, the soul, and life after death than ever before. Then why are scores of people turning to unbelief because of "science"? The answer is simple: they do not know the science.

Science at the Doorstep to God presents in depth the latest evidence to turn the rising tide of unbelief. Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., synthesizes eight recent studies confirming an intelligent creator of physical reality as well as a transphysical soul capable of surviving bodily death.

This is the most comprehensive scientific treatment of God and the afterlife to date. It combines natural scientific method, metaphysical method, medical studies, anthropological and genetics studies, and phenomenological descriptions, showing how each distinct method and data set reinforces the others.

It is critical for the Church to learn and share the fruits of this research and again to demonstrate the profound complementarity between the Catholic faith and science. Through reason, we can come to see not only the great intelligence of the Creator, but also signs of his love, goodness, and glory.

Robert Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D., is the president of the Magis Center for Reason and Faith and the Spitzer Center, as well as the host of EWTN's Father Spitzer's Universe. For ten years, he was president of Gonzaga University. Among his many books are Finding True Happiness, Five Pillars of the Spiritual Life, The Light Shines On in the Darkness, The Soul's Upward Yearning, God So Loved the World, Christ versus Satan in Our Daily Lives, and The Moral Wisdom of the Catholic Church.
