About the Book
WON'T A MULITVERSE CAUSE GOD
Maybe the first cause of the Universe is God (and not the other way around)?
The God question flipped on its head!
"Won't a Multiverse
Cause God?"
is a first of its kind cosmology / philosophy piece which takes the Atheism vs Theism debate to an unprecedented next level.
In this work science, reason and logical argumentation are brought to the fore front in view of an extensive examination of modern cosmological models (
by such authors as Vilenkin, Hawking, Guth, Carroll, Steinhardt, Penrose and others), to determine what likelihood, by either philosophical need, or scientific prediction, is there for a purposeful Creator and Masterful Controller of our Observable Universe.
While respecting and detailing old traditional philosophic positions for God's existence such as the Kalam argument (made famous by theologians like William Lane Craig), the book also
dares to cross theological lines by suggesting real, plausible NATURAL (as opposed to "SUPERNATURAL") mechanisms for God's existence, based on physics and probabilities.
Indeed, the argument for a Deity changes, and can be taken much more seriously by science minded skeptics, when mysterious terms such as "transcendent" and "supernatural" are barred from discussion!
Importantly, this work also teaches an entirely new (and absolutely required) method on how to frame and define necessary parameters when engaging in the cosmological God debate.
For example differing presumed theories of space/time (i.e. Emergent "Growing Block" vs. Fait Accompli "Eternal Block"?) as well as various positions on "infinity" (i.e. actual vs. potential?), must first be assumed and agreed upon before any meaningful cosmological discussion between a Cosmologist (typically for atheism) and the Philosopher (typically for theism) can take place.
Indeed the expectation or requirement for a Masterful Controller or Creator of the Cosmos changes drastically if "actualizable infinity" is left on or off the table, and also changes drastically if one advocates for eternalism vs. a temporally growing space-time!
This work is a mandatory second look at the "Does God Exist?" question, especially suitable to the scientifically minded skeptic who is still curious and willing to take a
fresh look on whether there are any plausible grounds to hope for a Deity in charge of our Universe.
Indeed this book is the first to finally deliver a plausible answer to toughest question of them all, who or what may have "Created the Creator!"
An essential read if seeking God's existence!
Reviews:
"An ambitious exploration of fundamental reality! Andrew may be right, but the hypothesis of a "god" produced by nature is dis-satisfying as very different than the God commonly believed upon"
