Dr Nick Hawkes gathers evidence from science, history, and
mathematics to seek out the signature of God. By surveying the
various fields of study, he gathers a mass of evidence, concluding
that faith in God is reasonable and that the evidence invites it.
Addressing the big questions of origins and meaning, Hawkes
considers the cosmos and the arguments for a Creator behind
creation. He looks at biology, and the ideas of Darwin and Dr
Richard Dawkins. He examines the significance of suffering and the
phenomenon of mathematics - the code by which we understand how
things work. He sifts through history and how it has been 'molded'.
He considers the nature of truth, and whether it is ever knowable,
and if so how; and he takes a long, hard look at ideas about the
afterlife. What we believe is important. It becomes our identity,
something we stake our very lives upon. Who Ordered The Universe?
is essential reading for those battling with identity and their
place in the world. It is the ideal gift for a non-Christian
friend.
Endorsements: "Nick Hawkes has written a book on science and
Christian faith that is attractive, intelligent, and accessible to
general readers. It shows clearly that Christian faith and science
are not opposed to each other but in need of each other. This book
will be of great interest not only to committed Christians seeking
to see how their biblical faith relates to contemporary science,
but also to all those searching for an authentic Christian
spirituality for the twenty-first century." -Denis Edwards Flinders
University "Nick Hawkes looks at arguments for and against the
existence for God and comes to the conclusion that faith can no
more dispense with science than science can dispense with God. Both
complete one another. He knows the terrain well and is able to
explain complex ideas in ordinary language. Dr. Hawkes concludes by
saying that Christian theology, rather than undermining science,
actually provides science with a solid ground of meaning on which
to stand." -Mark Worthing Tabor College, Adelaide. "This book
should have a prominent position on the shelves of pastors, church
leaders, teachers, and anyone who is interested in proclaiming
Christianity in our secular society. Dr. Hawkes uses modern science
to put forward a reasoned defense of orthodox Christianity." -Ken
Smith The University of Queensland Author Biography: Nick Hawkes
has two degrees in science and two in theology. He is the author of
a number of books including the BASICS discipling series and A
Summary of the Bible. He was a research scientist for twelve years
before training as a pastor and leading a number of vibrant
churches.
