MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Some of the brightest scientific minds of our time, from Albert Einstein to Stephen Hawking, have made incredible insights into the earliest origins of the universe, but have failed to ultimately discover why there is something rather than nothing--why we exist. In "A Case for the Existence of God", Dean L. Overman examines the latest theories about the origins of the universe and explains why even the most sophisticated science can only take us so far. Ultimately we must make a leap of faith to understand the world, and Overman argues that a leap into theism provides the most satisfying conclusions.

Overman explores fundamental questions about why our world exists and how it functions, using principles of logic, physics, and theology. In a time when religion and science are often portrayed as diametrically opposed, "A Case for the Existence of God" 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.

"Like a rare wine, Dean Overman is to be savored, not gulped. Crystal clear in his thinking and wide-ranging in his reading and discussion, he is a shining example of those who believe in thinking and think in believing."--Os Guinness, Oxford University, author of "Long Journey Home"

"Why is there something rather than nothing? Why is the universe deeply and beautifully transparent to scientific enquiry? Dean L. Overman argues with clarity and care that theism offers the most illuminating response to such profound questions. His book will be found helpful by many thoughtful seekers after truthful understanding."--Rev. Dr. John Polkinghorne, Cambridge University, author of "Belief in God in an Age of Science", Templeton Prize recipient
