This is a dangerous book for atheists and agnostics. The assembling of so much evidence might start to convince them that Christianity is not just blind faith, but a religion that has clear proof available. Much unique data is presented and the arguments from mathematics and physics are particularly convincing. For Christians, the book is a very helpful compendium of data, will strengthen their faith, and give arguments pertinent to their dialogue with others. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR GRAEME WOODFIELD, Faculty of Molecular Medicine and Pathology, University of Auckland MB., ChB (NZ), FRCPE, FRCPA, PhD (Edin) Written in a clear and lucid style, devoid of technical philosophical terminology, Seber's work is easy to follow, is compelling reading, and aims to be used widely. Written by one who is both a mathematician / statistician and Christian counsellor, this work offers many unique insights. MYK HABETS, Head of Carey Graduate School, Carey Baptist College, Auckland Author, Theology in Transposition: A Constructive Appraisal of T.F. Torrance George Seber is a superb synthesiser of literature and ideas. He makes challenging arguments accessible and he gets you there fast... Seber writes concisely and comprehensively. In this book, as with all of Seber's books, you are efficiently introduced to all the big ideas and arguments that really matter. CHRISTOPHER WILD, Professor, coauthor of Chance Encounters and Nonlinear Regression
