<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>When we look at nature, whether at our living earth or into deepest space, what do we find? Benjamin Wiker and Jonathan Witt take you on a journey that reveals a universe shot through with meaning, designed to be intelligible on multiple levels, and one that points to God himself.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Meaningful or meaningless? Purposeful or pointless? When we look at nature, whether at our living earth or into deepest space, what do we find? In stark contrast to contemporary claims that the world is meaningless, Benjamin Wiker and Jonathan Witt reveal a cosmos charged with both meaning and purpose. Their journey begins with Shakespeare and ranges through Euclid's geometry, the fine-tuning of the laws of physics, the periodic table of the elements, the artistry of ordinary substances like carbon and water, the intricacy of biological organisms, and the irreducible drama of scientific exploration itself. Along the way, Wiker and Witt fashion a robust argument from evidence in nature, one that rests neither on religious presuppositions nor on a simplistic view of nature as the best of all possible worlds. In their exploration of the cosmos, Wiker and Witt find all the challenges and surprises, all of the mystery and elegance one expects from a work of genius.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>A Meaningful World</em> offers a compelling rebuttal to modern materialism and its reductionistic view of nature. The professional critics of intelligent design didn't see this book coming, and are unlikely to have a ready response to its argument.</p>--Touchstone, July-August 2007<br><br><p>A good book for the math or science lover.</p>--David Mills, The Pittsburgh Catholic, December 2009<br><br><p>It is fully as gratifying to hear from teachers and writers who know science and literature as well as theology and who use their energy to assign God his rightful place.</p>--Steve Van Der Weele, Calvin Theological Journal, November 2008<br><br><p>Several outstanding books argue for Intelligent Design. However, <em>A Meaningful World</em> explores newer ground. In this book the authors widen the focus to the meaning and genius that are evident all around us.</p>--Lay Witness, Fall 2007<br><br><p>Wiker and Witt submit: 'A poison has entered human culture. It's the assumption that science has proven that the universe is without purpose, without meaning.' This is the primary popular assumption the authors tackle in <em>A Meaningful World.</em></p>--Terry Scambray<br>
