Books and Media: New Proofs for the Existence of God: Contributions of Late Twentieth Century Physics and Philosophy
Description

In the rational domain, David Hilbert (the father of finite mathematics) has transformed the interpretation of the infinite regress argument in his article "On the Infinite." Quantum Theory has expanded the horizons of ontology by forcing it to contend with non-location and information fields. The General Theory of Relativity has forced us to abandon the fixity and Euclidean geometry of space and time. Big Bang cosmology has introduced the possibility, and even the probability, of a singularity. When these and many other discoveries are placed within the context of the six fundamental rational intuitions of God (given in Chapter Two, Section II.), they provide a remarkable rational foundation for the existence of a unique, unconditioned, unrestricted, absolutely simple, continuous Creator of all else that is, which is likely to be an intelligent Designer, and even to possess an unrestricted act of understanding understanding Itself.
