In this book Colin Howson analyses in detail the evidence which is claimed to support belief in God's existence and argues that the claim is not well-founded.

COLIN HOWSONI IS PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AT T HE UNIVERSITY OF
TORONTO, AND EMERITUS PROFESSOR,;
LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOM ICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE. HE IS T HE AUTHOR OF
HUME S PROBLEM: INDUCTION AND
THE JUSTIFICATION OF BELIEF {2000), LOGIC WITH TREES] (1997) AND, WITH
PETER URBACH, SCIENTIFIC REASON- ING: THE BAYESIAN APPROACH
(3RD EDITION 2006).
THE GROWTH OF SCIENCE, AND A CORRESPONDINGLY SCIENTIFIC WAY OF LOOKING
AT EVIDENCE, HAVE FOR THE LAST THREE CENTURIES SLOWLY BEEN GAIN ING
GROUND OVER RELIGIOUS EXPLANATIONS OF THE *
COSMOS AND MANKIND S PLACE IN IT. HOWEVER, NOT ONLY IS SECULARISM NOW
UNDER RENEWED ATTACK FROM RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM, BUT ALSO IT HAS
BEEN WIDELY CLAIMED THAT THE SCIENTIFIC
EVIDENCE ITSELF POINTS STRONGLY TO A UNIVERSE DELIBERATELY FINE-TUNED
FOR LIFE TO EVOLVE IN IT. IN ADDITION, CERTAIN ASPECTS OF HUMAN LIFE,
LIKE . CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE ABILITY TO RECOGNISE THE
EXISTENCE OF UNIVERSAL MORAL STANDARDS, SEEM COMPLETELY RESISTANT TO
EVOLUTIONARY EXPLANA TION. IN THIS BOOK COLIN HOWSON ANALYSES IN DETAIL
THE EVIDENCE WHICH IS CLAIMED TO SUPPORT
BELIEF IN GOD S EXISTENCE, AND ARGUES THAT THE CLAIM IS NOT WELL
FOUNDED. MOREOVER, THERE IS VERY COMPELLING EVIDENCE THAT AN
ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-KNOWING GOD NOT ONLY DOES NOT EXIST BUT
CANNOT EXIST, A CONCLUSION BOTH SURPRISING AND PROVOCATIVE.
