description: Author Bill Bryson I am immensely grateful [for the book]. Fay Weldon calls the book Thoughtful readable witty wise ... Dr John Sentamu Archbishop of York ... written in a very lively style and conveys complex subjects in a palatable form. The Principal of London Theological Seminary England Richard Dawkins has more than met his match. A book written by a distinguished scientist about the existence of God which has chapter headings like Sooty and the universe  Steam engine to the stars and The tidy pachyderm  has to be different. It is. Addressing profound questions of science philosophy and faith with an amazing lightness of touch Edgar Andrews exposes the pretensions of the new atheism of Richard Dawkins and others blending incisive arguments with gentle humour. However the author s aim is not simply to raise a standard against the aggressive atheism of our age but to provide a logically consistent and altogether more satisfying alternative. He describes how his fellow physicists dream of discovering a theory of everything that will embrace every physical process and phenomenon in the cosmos. But he points out that there is more to existence than the material world; the things that make life worth living are mainly non-material. Can there then be a theory of everything that includes not only space time matter and energy but also the realms of the heart mind conscience and spirit? Yes indeed as this book shows. It is the hypothesis of God a theory that in spite of its opponents still towers above the barren landscape of atheism and despair.
