 God's Undertaker - Has Science Buried God? October 23, 2008

I was impressed by the author's coverage of the subject. He covered both sides of the Question from what I believe to be an impartial viewpoint, looking at the scientific claims of both the Evolutionist's, and the Intelligent Design teams' points of view. To me, a book that anyone wanting an accurate appraisal of the subject should read.
Concise, thoughtful, and well-written July 27, 2008

I greatly enjoyed this concise work on various fields of science and what they have to say (or not say) about the existence of a Creator. A book of <200 pages that covers such a wide scope (particle physics, cosmology, biochemistry, etc.) can not be exhaustive, but it is a good summary of the major arguments in each area and Lennox frames the issues in a very readable way.
I read a 1-star review of this book and was taken aback by its "If you even contemplate the existence of a Creator then you are an absolute moron" tone. It is exactly this type of vitriol that Lennox successfully argues against.
It is easy to slip into the "My Ph.Ds are smarter than yours" style of debate, but Lennox largely (and thankfully) avoids that in this book. In the end, I found Lennox' thesis that science has not yet buried God to be very persuasive.
The only area of the book that I thought was a bit weak was the discussion on evidence related to macroevolution. Lennox makes some assertions that the evidence in support of macroevolution is limited, but doesn't really back up those statements. Perhaps as Lennox is a mathematician by training, his arguments are more credible in the areas of physics, information theory, and complexity.
 Put on your thinking caps... this is no light read. April 21, 2008

I just finished this book a few minutes ago. I consider myself to be a fairly learned person. But I must say that this book was WAY over my head in many aspects. Although Dr. Lennox certainly has pulled together vast amounts of information from both sides of the intelligent design debate, the information is presented in a highly technical manner. It would probably be a great read for other scientists, but is quite difficult for lay people. From what I could understand, I think Dr. Lennox puts forth many great thoughts regarding the evidence for intelligent design. He especially delves into the fact that most Darwinist/aethiestic scientists shape their opinions about intelligent design not on the facts available, but on their preconceived notion that only Darwinistic thinking can provide all their answers. Dr. Lennox points out many inconsistencies in their thought processes and also suggests that it is difficult, if not impossible, to answer what are really philosophical questions with science. Overall, I would recommend the book although you will need a lot of quiet, uninterrupted time to fully decipher what's being said.
A Book to Read Slowly March 5, 2008

What a wonderful and enlightening book. It is a short book but there is so much information and so many citations that reading it takes some time. Time that is very well spent.
From time to time my faith has been challenged by the secularism to be found in nearly every corner of this world. This book has reaffirmed my faith.
Logical presentation for theistic belief February 11, 2008
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
Reading John Lennox's work I'm very impressed with his ability to present a logical, scientific view of a most difficult and tenous subject as the debate of Science and God.
Dr. Lennox presents arguments in the diverse fields as Astronomy, Biology and the fossil record to present a clear case for his beliefs. He is able to accomplish this without resulting to insults or low brow attacks. It presents a valid argument, and leaves it to the reader to be better prepared to make up their own mind of this subject.
Of all the books I've read on this subject, this is the one I would recommend first and foremost.
