Publisher's summary

This book presents hard-hitting questions (on God and the existence of Evil, Pain and Suffering) from Seekers, together with respectful and reasoned responses from an ex-atheist Christian, who is also a Scientist. Most of these are questions that the author himself had during his search for ultimate truth, when he was looking into the existence of God, and the truth (or falsehood) of Christianity. Over time, he came to realize that there are reasonable (and rational) answers to these questions. This helped him to come to the intellectual conviction that Christian Theism (belief in the Christian God) is reasonable and rational. Ultimately, this helped him to commit his life to Christ. This book includes 80+ questions such as - If God is all-powerful, can he create a rock that he cannot lift? - If God is all-loving, why is there pain and suffering in the world? - If God is all-good, why is there Evil in the world? - If God is all-knowing, how is free-will possible? - If God is all-powerful, all-loving, and all-knowing, why is there Evil in the world? - Doesn’t the Logical Problem of Evil prove that God does not exist? - If God created (or permits) Evil, does that not mean that God is evil? - What is God’s purpose for the universe? And for human beings? - Can there be Good without Evil? - Can we be Good without God? - What is the best explanation for the existence of Evil? - Why does God not prove himself to us? - Why would God choose to be Partially Hidden from us? - If there is Free-Will in heaven, then won’t there be Evil there as well? - Isn’t God the villain in the book of Job? - You explained that in Christianity, Pain has a Purpose. But, what about - Pointless suffering? - Terminally ill Kids? - Unanswered Prayer? - Natural disasters? - Animal suffering? - Animal suffering before humans arrived on earth? - What about those who have never heard about Jesus Christ? - Isn’t eternal punishment in Hell unjust? - Isn’t equal punishment for everyone in Hell unjust? - How does Jesus dying on the cross make any sense? - So, Jesus on the Cross is a part of God’s response to Evil, Pain and Suffering. What is the rest of God’s response? This book presents 80+ such hard-hitting questions from Seekers, together with respectful and reasoned responses from an ex-atheist Christian. About the Author: John (pen-name) is a research scientist with more than 150 publications in the hard-sciences, more than 10 inventions (with patents in various countries), and numerous scientific and technical awards in the course of his scientific career. He has collaborated with and published hard-science research articles with scientists from many of the top research universities in the world. For more information: See the book (TIAG) “There is a God: How an Atheist Scientist Changed his Mind” by John M. Kinson (available at amzn.com/B00U5FS92G). The book (TIAG) presents the questions and answers, thoughts and discussions that occurred in the course of an Atheist Scientist moving from an atheistic world-view to belief in God. Many years of investigation, and an honest and rational appraisal of the scientific & philosophical evidence led him to the conclusion that God does exist. The book (TIAG) is not intended to be a rigorous defense of Theism or of Christianity, but rather the path taken intellectually by one Atheist Scientist to a Theistic Worldview, and ultimately to a commitment to Christ. Also: See the book (DSP) “Does Science Point to God?” by John M. Kinson (available at amzn.com/B00U6BRAGK). The book (DSP) discusses some of the scientific and philosophical evidence that the author came across during his investigation. In particular, the book (DSP) discusses (a) the origin of the universe, (b) the fine-tuning of the universe, (c) the origin of first life, and (d) the presence of language and information in DNA, in the context of Scientific Evidence for God.
