Who Made God? New Third Edition

Includes appendix 'God, Black Holes and Stephen Hawking' The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, says Who made God? deals with complex subjects 'in a palatable form'. A book by a distinguished scientist about the existence of God, with chapter headings like 'Steam engine to the stars' and 'The tidy pachyderm' has to be different. It is. Dr Andrews shows that the concept of the 'hypothesis of God' towers above the barren landscape of atheism and despair. Even the Secular Daily News conceded that the book is 'head and shoulders above the standard of many so-called scientific Christian apologetic texts'.

Professor Edgar Andrews (b. 1932) Career After completing a BSc degree in theoretical physics at the University of London in 1953, Edgar Andrews obtained a PhD in 1960 and a DSc (higher doctorate) in 1968 both in physics. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP), Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM), Chartered Engineer (CEng, UK) and Chartered Physicist (CPhys). Andrews is an international expert on the science of polymers (large molecules). From 1953 to 1955 he was a Technical Officer at Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. UK. From 1955 to 1963 he was a Senior Physicist at the Natural Rubber Producers' Research Association. From 1963 to 1968 he was a Reader in Materials Science. In 1967 he set up the Department of Materials at Queen Mary College, University of London, and served both as its Head and later as Dean of Engineering (1971-1974). From 1968 to 1998 he was Professor of Materials at Queen Mary and Westfield College (Professor Emeritus 1998 - present). Besides his work at the university, he was also a director of: QMC Industrial Research London (1970-1988), Denbyware PLC (1971-1981, non-executive director), Materials Technology Consultants Ltd (1974-present), Evangelical Press (1975-2004) and Fire and Materials Ltd (1985-1988). For five years he was a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Neste Oy, the national oil company of Finland (which later became Neste Oil). He was and remains the first president of the Biblical Creation Society, and was Editor of Evangelical Times (1998-2008). Edgar Andrews was an international consultant to the Dow Chemical Company (USA) for over thirty years and to the 3M Company (USA) for twenty years. He also acted for many years as an expert scientific witness in a variety of cases in the British High Court and in courts in the USA and Canada. He has published well over 100 scientific research papers and books, together with two Bible commentaries and various works on science and religion and on theology. His book From Nothing to Nature has been translated into ten languages. Recognition, awards and publications On 28-30 September 1972, Edgar Andrews was one of four speakers invited to address an international audience of over 400 scientists at the Michigan Molecular Institute's Dedication Symposium, along with Nobel Laureates Paul J. Flory and Melvin Calvin, and Professor Donald Lyman. Several of his research articles have appeared in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Britain's leading scientific journal. In 1977 he was awarded the A. A. Griffith Medal and Prize for contributions to materials science. Edgar Andrews was invited by the Oxford Union Society to take part in the Huxley Memorial Debate on 16 February 1986 where he debated opposite Richard Dawkins on the motion 'That the doctrine of creation is more valid than the theory of evolution'. The proposer of the motion was A. E. Wilder-Smith. The opposers, Richard Dawkins and John Maynard Smith, won the debate by 198 votes to either 115 or 150 (controversy surrounding the voting figures continues to this day). Professor Andrews' writings include the following books: 1989 - From Nothing to Nature - A Basic Guide to Evolution and Creation. Translated in ten languages (as at 2012). 1994 - Christ and the Cosmos. 1996 - Free in Christ, the message of Galatians. 2003 - A Glorious High Throne, Hebrews Simply Explained. 2009 - Who made God? Searching for a Theory of Everything.
