About the book: year / Is it possible to dismiss God so simply? With so much at stake, we certainly need to ask Hawking to provide evidence to back up his claims. Do his arguments really stand up to scrutiny? We have the right to know this. The book A Grand Design by the eminent scientist Stephen Hawking is a very significant contribution to the debate about the new atheism and argues that it was not God, but the laws of physics themselves that led to the creation of the universe. In this quick and straightforward answer, John Lennox, Oxford mathematician and author of God's Undertaker, takes a closer look at Hawking's logic. In accessible language, Lennox introduces us to the key points of Hawking's argument, explaining the latest scientific and philosophical methods and theories. He shows that they not only do not refute God the Creator, but also make His existence even more probable.
