Christianity for Doubters, Second Edition - Paperback

by Granville Sewell (Author)

In Christianity for Doubters, mathematician Granville Sewell looks at a series of issues that cause Christians to doubt. In the first two chapters he shows, even more convincingly in this updated second edition, that modern science is not close to explaining how the unintelligent laws of Nature alone could have produced intelligent humans and is in fact uncovering abundant evidence for design in the origin and development of life on Earth, and even in the laws of Nature themselves. But while there is no shortage of evidence that God exists, why is it sometimes so hard to see evidence that he cares about people, and why does he remain backstage, hidden from view, working behind the scenes while people act out their parts in the human drama? Although these theological problems are more difficult, the author shows that some of the most important insights into both the scientific and theological questions can be made by applying a little common sense, without relying on ideas that can only be understood by the ""experts.""
