Description for Big Bang, Big God: A Universe Designed for Life?
Paperback.
How did the universe begin and how has it evolved? Does a scientific explanation mean that we can do without God? Why are the laws of nature so special ('fine-tuned') as to produce a universe with intelligent creatures like us in it in the first place? Can the existence of a multiverse, a vast or infinite collection of universes, explain the specialness of this universe? This book argues that only God provides an explanation for the universe to exist at all, and that design by God provides the best and most rational explanation to adopt for the fine-tuning.

“If you wish to rationally consider the possible relation of cosmology to philosophical and theological issues, Holder’s very careful analysis will provide a sound and historically well informed basis for that discussion.”
