�What the Message from Space Is Telling Us About God
Paperback, 393 pages, 98 photos. Reviews
Show Me God is a rare chance to hear about the
latest space discoveries from the discoverers themselves�and to learn how their
findings affect life�s big questions. With the help of today�s foremost
astronomers and cosmologists, Fred Heeren examines how their discoveries affect the big
questions about creation, the fine-tuning of the universe, the likelihood of
extraterrestrials, why we're here, and the nature of God. In interviews for this book:
- Stephen Hawking explains how God relates to his no-boundary proposal of spacetime (and the anthropic principle).
- Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson describe how their Nobel prize-winning discovery led them away from their belief in an eternal universe to believing that the universe was created.
- George Smoot tells how his discovery of cosmic ripples with NASA's COBE satellite points not just to a haphazard big bang, but to a �finely orchestrated� creation event.
- Alan Guth, father of the inflationary big bang theory, speaks of the �fine-tuning� of the universe.
- John Mather (COBE satellite chief scientist) shows how science is still at a loss to explain how the universe could come out of nothing in any natural way.
- Charles Steidel describes how his team of astronomers discovered the time when galaxies formed.
- Princeton's Jeremiah Ostriker explains why so many now believe in multiple universes.
- Robert Jastrow (director of the Mt. Wilson Observatory) tells of �the most interesting result in all of science.�
- Fred Heeren ties together all the evidence to come up with what he calls �the IIP God.�
 George Smoot tells the author why he called his discovery �fingerprints from the Maker.� |
Charles Steidel describes how his team found the time when galaxies were forming � and before. |
 Robert Jastrow explains how the scientific enterprise comes to a sudden and unexpected halt at the very beginning of the universe. |
 Fred Heeren (here speaking on God and cosmology to the Chicago Astronomical Society) brings the latest space results down to earth for general readers and science buffs alike. |
