Table of contents: title: The question of God's existence : the radical contingency of the universe points toward a necessary being; title: Many generations of philosophers have made the mistake of assuming Hume and Kant's objections disposed of the cosmological argument; title: A universe with an infinite past would still require a necessary being to sustain its existence; title: Because the universe (or multiverse) had a beginning, it is contingent and has a cause for its coming into existence; title: The philosophy of nature set forth in this book emphasizes the intelligibility of the universe noted in Einstein's statement : "the most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible;" a significant issue in examining the "something" which exists is : why is it intelligible?; title: Evolution is not dispositive of the question of why there is something rather than nothing and why the universe is rational and intelligible; title: The mystery of information challenges a strict materialism; title: The existence of God gives an absolute which is consistent with the real existence of right and wrong.
