Is there a God? Was the universe intelligently designed? Or has the universe developed by unintelligent, natural, random happenings that created life itself and a vast universe by evolving over billions of years? Is there any overwhelming evidence one way or the other? Does it matter? These are some of the big questions that underlie our understanding of the world and everything in it. They influence how we live and how our lives will be molded; and yes, they do matter - a lot. Our beliefs actually shape our lives. This book (the first in a series of books dealing with the questions that have exercised the best minds throughout the ages and plagued all sincere seekers after truth) deals with questions that must be answered. Its message is for anyone, but its inspiration came from the many seekers.We will also find out in this series that everyone has a "faith" of some sort that shapes their lives. It matters a lot what we believe, but our beliefs also need to be grounded in real solid evidence. And we are about to find out where that evidence is to be found.
