What is God if he's not perfect, all-knowing, and ever-present? How
could Time exist before 'spacetime' did? Why did God stay entirely
"on the sidelines" after the Big Bang? What is God learning from us
that has transformed him? How will a coming nuclear war bring about
the end of organised religion? How will a neuroelectronic
"information chip" revolutionise education? And why is the
afterlife open equally to saints and sinners alike? These and many
other questions are answered by God in a hypothetical dialogue with
three 21st century humans, a clergyman, a philosopher, and a
scientist, set in the far-distant future. He also talks about his
design of the Universe, our own immediate future, and a totally
unrecognisable afterlife. Preceding the dialogue is a short essay
that explains why we must look beyond faith to our known reality to
find the reasons for a vast Universe with intelligent life. This
book ends with another short essay contending that this unorthodox
picture of a hands-off but synergistic God is much more plausible
than the alternatives of either revelation religion or absolute
atheism. As a former trial lawyer, the author spent 30 years
analysing evidence, drawing logical conclusions, and presenting
cogent arguments, which he put to good use in writing this book. A
"believer" who cannot find a plausible God among the traditional
choices, he has long pondered an alternative God and the other
issues addressed here. In addition to spending time with his family
and working on two other books, he is now engaged in pursuing his
lifelong interest in history and various outdoor activities.
