(The Wonder of the Universe should be out in March 2012.)

Here are some advance comments on the book from some of my friends who I asked to write blurbs for the back cover.

“The Wonder of the Universe” is written in a style easily accessible to a broad audience. Avoiding the extremes of too much science jargon or sidestepping the science altogether, Giberson explains his scientific arguments in terms and examples that engage both scientist and layperson alike. He weaves a rich tapestry of the history of science, scientific discoveries, and the many great - albeit sometimes quirky - minds of ground-breaking scientists themselves. Observing the remarkable lawful order and suitability for life we find in our universe, Giberson explores the fine-tuning “problem”, and cautions his readers not to simplify the debate between the competing explanations of the multiverse hypothesis versus purposeful design as merely science versus religion. He comments on the shortcomings of science when it comes to questions of meaning and purpose, and asserts that while evidence for fine-tuning in nature does not prove God’s existence, it “fits comfortably, supportively and logically” within a belief system holding God as Creator. This book is a very well written, thought provoking and enjoyable read.
