The Mysterious Case of God's Non-existence: Investigating the nature of the Real

Many people today would assert the idea of God, not to mention particular religious beliefs in God, to be a waste of time. Personalities such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens, to name only a few, lend great weight to this position in their unanimous rejection of the God hypothesis. In their subscription to a patently materialist paradigm for understanding the nature of reality they summarily dismiss the idea of God as pure fantasy, the stuff of fairy tales. In a largely materialistic and ever increasingly secular culture, attentiveness to the metaphysical underlying and infusing the physical is largely forgotten. Alternative voices suggest a very different paradigm to materialism, submitting consciousness and not matter is the fundamental constituent of the universe. This book is an attempt to propose, once again, the plausibility of God as an idea that is both rational and evidence based. It will offer compelling argument to substantiate the legitimacy of the God hypothesis.
