God, Intelligent Design and Fine-Tuning - A Dialogue between T. D. Singh and Michael J. Behe

Is God no longer necessary in a world that is increasingly influenced by a scientific temper? Or, on the contrary, have the findings of modern sciences forced us to approach the question of the existence of God in new ways? The scientific enterprise has gifted us the ability to examine and contemplate deeply the mysterious and beautiful order behind nature. Over the past four decades modern biochemistry has uncovered the secrets of cells and has revealed us the marvelous design even at the molecular level. Advancements in science have also shown us some of the precise laws and unique fundamental constants in the universe. All these facts and observations point to a fine-tuned and specially designed universe with a purpose by a Supreme Being or God. As one journey through the newly discovered marvels of the cosmos and life discussed in this volume, one will be compelled to reexamine his opinion concerning the origins, evolution and essence of this wonderful world in which we live.

Dr. T. D. Singh is both a scientist with a Ph.D. in Physical Organic Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine, USA and a spiritualist in the Bhakti-Vedanta tradition of India. He is the Founder Director of the Bhaktivedanta Institute and has been one of the pioneers in advancing the dialogue between science and religion.

Prof. Michael J. Behe is a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA. After post-doctorate research at the University of Pennsylvania and the National Institute of Health, he joined Lehigh's faculty in 1985. He is the author of the award-winning best seller, Darwin's Black Box and has penned over 40 papers in scientific journals.
