Who made God?

These days I hardly watch tv during the week. For some reason, last thursday, I took a pile of books to mark and sat down in front of Revelation TV, one of my favourite tv channels.
As it happened, there was an interview of Professor Edgar Andrews who is physicist, author and Emeritus Professor of Materials in the University of London.  He is also a Christian who has written a book called Who made God? Searching for a theory of everything.  I must say that this interview was so interesting as he destroys all atheists' arguments.
I always meet people who tell me they run out of arguments for God and Jesus when talking to their 'scientifically-minded' spouse / children (whether teenagers or mature) so in the end they give up. 
Professor Andrews was saying that he has written it in a way that can be understood by everybody. 
I can't wait to read it that book. 


If you have already read it, I welcome your comments!  


Watch Edgar on Revelation TV (UK), Thursday 10 June from 9 to 10 p.m. Sky Guide 581 and Freesat 692. The program can also be watched on-line on www.revelationtv.com.
Why don't you visit the Professor's website : http://whomadegod.org/  Welcome to ‘Who made God?’, a website dedicated to answering unanswerable questions about God, science and the Bible.
Blessings. Yours in Christ.

He makes the usual error of saying that Evolution is the a theory for the existence of life. It actually isn't. Evolution is about how life appears in different forms. The existence of life itself is a different subject entirely.

He also makes the error of making a belief in creationism integral to Christianity. It isn't and nobody really tried to make that linkage before about 1990.

I don't think Gordon can have read "Who made God?" because several chapters are devoted to the alleged mechanisms of what he defines as "evolution" such as random mutations, natural selection, genetic drift and so on. His opening sentence is therefore clearly untrue. I do also include chapters on the origin of life because my book is written against atheism not specifically against evolution. However, it must be said that most evolutionists claim that they will eventually be able to explain the origin of life by extrapolation of evolutionary mechanisms (such as self-replicating RNA molecules subject to natural selection) and would include such "chemical evolution" within their definition of evolution. It is in the end a matter of definition.

On his second point Gordon is equally off target. What my book assumes is that belief in the Bible (not in creationism) is integral to Christianity ... and the Bible teaches consistently that God in Christ is the creator and sustainer of all things (read e.g. Acts 17:22-31). If that is "creationism" so be it, but my authority is Scripture as interpreted by Christians for 2000 years.
