Drawing on incontrovertible results from the science and mathematics of Infinity, H. Chris Ransford analyzes the traditional concept of Godhood and reaches astonishing conclusions.

He addresses humankind's abiding core debate on the meaning of spirituality and God. Using mathematics to explore key questions within this debate, the author is led to counter-intuitive conclusions, including some that had long baffled humanity: For instance, why does evil exist if there is a God?

The book fastidiously does not take sides nor proffers opinions, it only follows allowable mathematics wherever it leads. By doing so, it makes a major contribution to an understanding of the nature of reality.
