The (Scientific) Case for God

PATRICK Glynn, a political journalist and former Reagan Administration official, has given us an elegantly written and absorbing account of his return to religious faith and the reasons for it. A major reason was the “significant body of evidence” which has emerged from “a series of dramatic developments in science, medicine, and other fields” in the last twenty years that “has radically changed the existence-of- God debate.”

Gerald Schroeder, an Israeli physicist, has followed a similar path. He writes: “As a scientist trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I was convinced I had the evidence to exclude [God] from the grand scheme of life.” But “with each step forward” he took in his understanding of science, “something kept shining through.”
