How did the universe begin and how has it evolved? Does a scientific explanation mean that we can do without God? Why are the laws of nature so special ('fine-tuned') as to produce a universe with intelligent creatures like us in it in the first place? Can the existence of a multiverse, a vast or infinite collection of universes, explain the specialness of this universe? This book argues that only God provides an explanation for the universe to exist at all, and that design by God provides the best and most rational explanation to adopt for the fine-tuning.
The Revd Dr Rodney D. Holder is former Course Director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St Edmund's College, Cambridge, where he is a Bye Fellow. He was awarded a DPhil in astrophysics and later adegree in theology from Oxford, after which he combined parish ministrywith writing and research on the relationship between science and faith.
