A Case for the Existence of God explores fundamental questions about why our world exists and how it functions, using principles of logic, physics, and theology to show that a belief in God can explain more about our world than even the most sophisticated science. In a time when religion and science are often portrayed as diametrically opposed, Dean Overman presents a refreshing view of the interplay between science and religion and makes a compelling case for the existence of God and his role in our world.

Foreword Preface Acknowledgments Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: The
question of God's existence: the radical contingency of the universe points
toward a necessary being Chapter 3: Many generations of philosophers have
made the mistake of assuming Hume and Kant's objections disposed of the
cosmological argument Chapter 4: A universe with an infinite past would
still require a necessary being to sustain its existence Chapter 5: Because
the universe (or multiverse) had a beginning, it is contingent and has a
cause for its coming into existence Chapter 6: The philosophy of nature set
forth in this book emphasizes the intelligibility of the universe noted in
Einstein's statement: "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is
that it is comprehensible." A significant issue in examining the
"something" that exists is Why is it intelligible? Chapter 7: Evolution is
not dispositive of the question of why there is something rather than
nothing and why the universe is rational and intelligible Chapter 8: The
mystery of information challenges a strict materialism Chapter 9: The
existence of God gives an absolute that is consistent with the real
existence of right and wrong Chapter 10: Evidential force of religious
experience: If God is a person, God can be known to only a very limited
extent by abstract reasoning and is more fully known by personal
acquaintance in an I-Thou relationship with the Wholly Other Chapter 11:
Recorded experiences of encounters with the divine bear witness to a way of
knowing that includes Kierkegaard's Kendskab, Buber's I-Thou, Otto's Wholly
Other, and Marcel's Mystery Chapter 12: These nine witnesses testify to
another way of knowing that is compatible with the empirical and the
metaphysical rational ways of knowing, but is beyond the describable and
requires personal participation, commitment, and personal transformation
Chapter 13: Concluding reflections and summary: Theism requires a leap of
faith, but it is a leap into the light, not into the dark; theism explains
more than Atheism, which also requires a leap of faith Afterword Appendix
A: The new mathematics of algorithmic information theory is relevant to
theories concerning the formation of the first living matter Appendix B:
The limits of mathematics and the limits of reason: Why everyone will
always live by faith rather than certainty Appendix C: The evidence from
contemporary physics supports the concepts of personal responsibility and
free will Notes Selected Bibliography Index About the Author
