God: The Failed Hypothesis
In my 2003 book "Has Science Found God?" I provided a critique of contemporary claims that science supports the existence of God and found them inadequate.I will go much further and argue that science makes a strong case against the existence a God with the traditional attributes of the Judaic-Christian-Islamic God. My argument is not based simply on the gross absence of evidence for this God. Not only is there no evidence for God, I argue that the evidence we have can be used to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that this God does not exist. Not only does the universe show no evidence of its existence, it looks exactly as it would be expected to look if there is no God.
