Synopsis
Show Me God brings together the great cosmologists of our time to talk about their discoveries―and the implications about God. In exclusive interviews, Nobel-prize-winning astrophysicists, NASA team leaders, and theoretical physicists like Stephen Hawking tell us how their discoveries affect life's big questions: creation, the fine-tuning of the universe, why we're here, and the nature of God. Heeren mixes in humor, dialogues, and a multi-media format while telling the stories of how the major discoveries were made. Fred Heeren has written for Nature, Scientific American, New Scientist, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Show Me God explores: •The search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the likelihood of contact •The origins of everything: God and non-god explanations •The discoveries and evidence leading to the Big Bang theory •Christian faith and the Big Bang •Fine-tuning and alternative explanations for its appearance •Is the gospel logical? •The healthy skeptic •The origins of science •Q&A with leading cosmologists •A little science fiction between the science facts “This cutting-edge book explores creation where science and religion ask the same questions and think the same thoughts.” ―George Smoot, Ph.D., co-winner of 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics for detection of cosmic "seeds" “Brings the latest space results down to Earth―a story well told.” ―John Mather, Ph.D., COBE satellite chief scientist, co-winner of 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovery of blackbody form of the microwave background radiation
Review
In Show Me God: What The Message From Space Is Telling Us About God, science writer Fred Heeren interviews today's foremost cosmologists in order to explore how the latest findings bear upon the ultimate questions we all ask. In doing so, he introduces people of faith to the ways of astronomy, and enlightens astronomy enthusiasts in the ways of faith. Skeptics and believers are both led to ask: Have cosmologists stumbled upon evidence for God? Scientists see the usefulness of a work like this in "removing the barriers between faith and science". Written in a down-to-earth style with humor and a multi-media approach, this newly revised edition contains 100 new pages that include recent developments in the search for extraterrestrial life and the discovery of primeval galaxies. Show Me God is a fascinating tour-de-force for anyone with an interest in astronomy and religion. --Midwest Book Review
