Praise for the New York Times bestseller God: The Failed Hypothesis: "I learned an enormous amount from this splendid book." -Richard Dawkins, author of the New York Times best-seller The God Delusion "Marshalling converging arguments from physics, astronomy, biology, and philosophy, Stenger has delivered a masterful blow in defense of reason. God: The Failed Hypothesis is a potent, readable, and well-timed assault upon religious delusion. It should be widely read." -Sam Harris, author of the New York Times bestsellers, The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation "Extremely tough and impressive...a great book...a huge addition to the arsenal of argument." -Christopher Hitchens, author of the New York Times bestseller God Is Not Great Informationen zum Autor By Victor J. Stenger Klappentext A number of authors have noted that if some physical parameters were slightly changed, the universe could no longer support life, as we know it. This implies that life depends sensitively on the physics of our universe. Does this "fine-tuning" of the universe suggest that a creator god intentionally calibrated the initial conditions of the universe such that life on earth and the evolution of humanity would eventually emerge? In his in-depth and highly accessible discussion of this fascinating and controversial topic, the author looks at the evidence and comes to the opposite conclusion. He finds that the observations of science and our naked senses not only show no evidence for God, they provide evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that God does not exist. Zusammenfassung In years a number of authors have noted that if some physical parameters were slightly changed, the universe could no longer support life as we know it. This implies that life depends sensitively on the physics of our universe. This title offers an exploration of the controversial 'fine-tuning' debate.
