Atheism: Trendy, Chic And Scientifically Misguided

Atheist scholars contend that science continuously reveals religious beliefs to be "the hideous fantasies of a prior age" (as author Sam Harris put it). However, science may actually be closer to suggesting just the opposite. Modern science suggests that extra dimensions of space and perhaps even whole parallel universes exist, that some things don’t have physical form until you look at them, that a particle can be in two places at once because it bounces back and forth in space AND time, and that events on Earth can be influenced instantaneously by events deep in the cosmos. Even Max Planck, the Nobel Prize winning physicist who was the father of quantum physics, came to believe that all matter is an illusion. Indeed, not only is science incapable of disproving God, it is increasingly revealing that our universe is so bizarre that refutation of the possibility of God has become the naïve perspective. Moreover, as I discuss in this book, it seems quite likely that God does intend for us to employ science in order to glean at least a glimpse of what lies beyond our immediate universe.
