Questions of Truth

"A wonderfully accessible, informative, and authoritative guide to the big questions in science and religion. An ideal starting point for those new to the field; a great stimulus to discussion for those who are already initiated."  
- Alister E McGrath, Professor of Theology, Ministry and Education, King's College, London  
  
"People looking for an intelligent discussion of some of the difficult questions that come up when one is serious about faith and serious about science should look at Questions of Truth. This little book is a refreshing contrast to the polemic and misinformation that have characterized much of the writing in this area."  
- William Phillips, Nobel Prize winning physicist  
  
How did the universe begin? Can God's existence be proven? Do humans matter more than animals?
