The God delusion caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within weeks it became the most hotly debated topic, with Dawkins himself branded as either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types. His argument could hardly be more topical

| Summary/Abstract |
Has our knowledge of current science indeed disproved the existence of God? Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Lawrence Krauss, highly esteemed scientists and writers in their recent books all posit that we have no choice but to accept that the creation of the universe came out of nothing. Amir Aczel, much published science author with a PhD in mathematics, disagrees and demonstrates in multiple ways that science has as yet in no way provided definitive proof that the assumption of a Creator must be false. To nail down this thesis, Aczel offers brilliant and incisive analyses of the theories and findings of such titans as Albert Einstein, Roger Penrose, Alan Guth, and Charles Darwin, all of whose major breakthroughs without question leave open the possibility and even the strong likelihood of a Creator. Aczel also lucidly discourses on arcane aspects of physics and shows that quantum theory, the anthropic principle, the fine-tuned dance of protons and quarks, the existence of anti-matter and the theory of parallel universes also all fail to disprove a Creator.
