520    "The growth of science and a correspondingly scientific 
       way of looking at evidence have for the last three 
       centuries slowly been gaining ground over religious 
       explanations of the cosmos and mankind's place in it. 
       However, not only is secularism now under renewed attack 
       from religious fundamentalism, but it has also been widely
       claimed that the scientific evidence itself points 
       strongly to a universe deliberately fine-tuned for life to
       evolve in it. In addition, certain aspects of human life, 
       like consciousness and the ability to recognise the 
       existence of universal moral standards, seem completely 
       resistant to evolutionary explanation. In this book Colin 
       Howson analyses in detail the evidence which is claimed to
       support belief in God's existence and argues that the 
       claim is not well-founded. Moreover, there is very 
       compelling evidence that an all-powerful, all-knowing God 
       not only does not exist but cannot exist, a conclusion 
       both surprising and provocative"--|cProvided by publisher.
