| Publisher Description: LCCN: 2009936698 The author asserts that if there is no God, then fifty-five absurdities follow such as: humans possess no unique value, there is no objective morality, the existence of humanity has no meaning or purpose. Without a transcendent standard or source, pursuits and values are delusions of the human species. The information required for the intricate complexity of the universe, from nothing or chaos to life on earth and the structure of the cosmos, has no contributor in the absence of a transcendent intelligence. In the year of his death in 1955, the revered scientist Albert Einstein clarified his formerly ambiguous views: "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God" (Calaprice, ed., The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, Princeton, 2010, p.325). |
