Books of Distinction

Over the centuries various attempts have been made to prove the existence of God and to demonstrate God’s action in the world. Russell Stannard, the distinguished physicist and author, looks at what modern science can bring to the discussion. Are the difficulties of “knowing” God the same difficulties physicists now confront in “knowing” the physical world?

Comparing the latest scientific theories and age-old religious thinking, Stannard produces some startling parallels. He examines creationism and the Big Bang, biblical miracles and quantum physics, and the idea of an omniscient God in the context of 4D spacetime. Written in a clear and lucid way, The God Experiment is a challenge to our assumptions about God, science, and our place in the universe.
