God of the Details

The Scientific Cover-Up of Intelligent Design

Science claims to have won the battle against religions for explaining the fundamental truths of the universe, but God has become collateral damage in the process.

We’re told that the world was created from nothing and that life appeared and evolved from inanimate matter as a result of a long series of fortunate accidents. However, the scientifically-backed theories for humanity’s great questions require a leap of faith at least as big as any religious person has ever had to take, because they’re based on speculations.

The caste which asserts its ability to mediate the truth about God for the “simple minds” of laymen is no longer made up of priests. Scientists have replaced them and are promoting a world view based on personal interests and aesthetic preferences instead of facts. They deliberately ignore evidence and fabricate truths to disprove the clues that show that the universe is a product of intelligent design.

In this bold and provocative book, Christian Bandea exposes the major cover-ups used to hide the presence of God. Science is going through a denial of the divine phase. The specter of intelligent design is already lurking through the established scientific edifice. It’s only a question of time before everyone realizes they can no longer conceal or ignore it.

Promoters of atheism claim that gaps in scientific knowledge are used as proof of God’s existence. As science advances relentlessly, believers are supposedly forced to retreat into narrow corners where the “light of reason” hasn’t yet reached.

However, history has shown, time and again, that new layers of complexity are revealed each time science considers it has come close to identifying final theories.

The “God of the gaps” argument is a distorted interpretation of how our auto-revelatory, self-describing universe is unfolding. What superficially looks like a retreat of deism in front of scientific progress is, in reality, a process in which the clues pointing to the existence of an intelligent designer are becoming more refined as we improve our understanding of the world. Increasingly sophisticated evidence which suggests the presence of God is revealed to us and replaces yesterday’s “miracles.” The history of our progress as a species shows us that we could be living in an infinitely layered onion of clues about our Creator. Each time we peel off a layer and think we’ve reached the fundamental core of understanding, new domains of immense complexity are discovered. The God of the gaps is, in fact, the God of the details.
