What if science and faith are not at war - as so many pundits would have us believe - but actually enrich each other? Alister McGrath engages with the big questions, including origins, the burden of proof, the meaning of life, the existence of God, and our place in the universe.

We just can't stop talking about the big questions around science and faith. They haven't gone away, as some predicted they might; in fact, we seem to talk about them more than ever. Far from being a spent force, religion continues to grow around the world. Meanwhile, Richard Dawkins and the New Atheists argue that religion is at war with science - and that we have to choose between them.

It's time to consider a different way of looking at these two great cultural forces. What if science and faith might *enrich* each other? What if they can together give us a deep and satisfying understanding of life?

Alister McGrath, one of the world's leading authorities on science and religion, engages with the big questions that Dawkins and others have raised - including origins, the burden of proof, the meaning of life, the existence of God and our place in the universe. Informed by the best and latest scholarship, *Inventing the Universe* is a groundbreaking new primer for the complex yet fascinating relationship between science and faith.

    Good rebuttal of religion vs science

    3. 5 stars\\nMcGrath's discussion of the unnecessary divide between religion and science is great. He dispels incorrect information and provides a positive view of how each can enhance and compliment the other. Good rebuttals of the new atheism. \\nHe seems inconsistent in parts, especially as he discusses origins and creation. He seems to elevate scientific theories despite earlier outlining their limits, which would seem to especially apply to these areas. Very dismissive of a young earth and seems to support theistic evolution. \\nA reasonably engaging book.
