God and Stephen Hawking : Whose Design Is It Anyway?

 

In this book Christian mathematician John Lennox challenges Stephen Hawking’s latest book where he claims that the universe was created without God. Though this is an interesting subject, most of this book was kinda over my head. I was however able to follow Lennox as he used the Bible to prove Hawking’s wrong. 
Between the biblical things offered by Lennox and the research he did from so many other scientists, he really proved his point far above anything Hawking proved. Hawking was just too wishy-washy trying to prove his case. I just couldn’t understand Hawking’s views or the explanations. It’s amazing what someone will do to prove that God is fake; heaven is a fantasy or fairytale when it is impossible to do. Lennox does mention that Hawking made statements that makes one believe he thinks the universe was created by a supernatural being, all the while he is going to great lengths to prove God does not exist. Despite not understand a lot of the book, these are a lot of things that were contradictive in the Hawking theory. 

Anyone wanting to know more about these issues should definitely read this book. Even though a short less than 100 page book, this is chunked full of information, so much that you can read it over and over and still learn something different each time.

This book is just simply beautiful inside and out! The romance between Clara and Daniel is enough to make you want to drool. Elizabeth Camden’s debut book is one of the best debut books I have read in a while. Daniel was the poor guy, making friends with rich daddy’s girl Clara Endicott because of the type of music they shared. As the years go by and the couple gets older, daddy sends his girl across the ocean to be raised by her aunt because he can see the chemistry growing between them. As they meet again twelve years later they realize that they were still not only best friends but sparks begin to sky rocket as the two of them start spending time together. But Daniel is so bitter about the way his parents died will he be able to put all of that behind him? And will Clara marry him if he doesn’t mend relationships and changed his heart, or let God change his heart?


Clara’s dad really irritated me because of his attitude and I am really glad that Clara was independent enough to stand up for herself. I enjoyed the determination of Clara and Daniel to be together even against the odds. The author created a cast of unique and believable characters that you grow to love, some as your own family, and some that you shy away from. This book captured me from the first pages to the very end! I just couldn’t put it down! And oh, by the way, I LOVE the book cover. The model so beautifully wears the gorgeous blue dress and the colors are so soft and inviting. And this is one book that you can judge by its cover! And check this out over on the LifeWay blog, its post for this day is the making of the cover of The Lady of Bolton Hill at Bethany House. Wonderful post and very interesting!
