"Strugglebook: A Logical Search for the Truth of GOD" explores the
probability for the existence of God based primarily on the logic
derived from science. While it addresses issues applicable to
theology, it is not a theological work. There are literally
hundreds of books on this subject, most detailing a standard set of
arguments. This book follows that pattern for the first part but
then extends itself into a series of coalescing arguments built on
the latest science, all of which results in a unique presentation
on the subject. Forming a conclusion respecting the reality of God
on something as cold as logic is contrary to approaches generally
considered acceptable to religious organizations that favor perhaps
more ephemeral means based on redemption and faith. Those
approaches based on other than logic have proven very successful
for many individuals. That notwithstanding, the author is
representative of that very large group of people who live in
environments replete with corporate missions, budget building and
spreadsheets, strength, weakness, opportunity and threat exercises,
performance yields, compensation management, management by
objective, measuring outcomes, and mini-MBA courses. The resulting
objectivity built through vocation, results for many individuals,
including the author, in a need to question the rationale behind
faith and God. This book is the record of a search for the reality
of God consistent with satisfying the needs dictated by the logic
often demanded by the modern mind. Do world and personal events
result in a questioning of your faith? Do you wonder about a God
that could allow 9/11 or the deaths of tens of thousands in a
cyclone? Have you watched as someone you love suffers, and as a
result, questioned the very existence of God? Have the truths of
modern science served to displace your belief in God? Does your
working life consumed with spreadsheets, schedules, logical
analysis, objectives, investment returns, getting the job done on
time, and all the other appendages of working life impose an
atmosphere that works against belief in God? Do you feel unsure
about sharing your beliefs with others because you may be
ridiculed? Have you been exposed to the views of Richard Dawkins
through his book The God Delusion, or other well known atheists who
attempt seemingly with some success to use science to prove God
doesn't exist and in so doing, relegate your beliefs as unworthy?
These questions and situations imposed themselves on the author of
this book, an educator and computer application designer who
decided to take a year out of his life and find the answers. This
book chronicles his search for the truth of God. Calling on history
and using the very latest scientific knowledge, coupled with
related philosophy, and sometimes delivered somewhat irreverently,
the book delves into the issues, presenting positive and dissenting
views respecting the existence of God and then argues the case from
the data presented. The reader shares the full rationale for
decisions made.
