Challenging today's accepted "wisdom," Catholic scientist Gerard Verschuuren here demonstrates that the question of whether God exists is not one science can answer. Indeed, that would be like expecting a microscope to reveal the square root of sixteen!
He begins by explaining the five famous medieval proofs for the existence of God - based on reason alone - that have survived despite nearly a thousand years of efforts to refute them. You'll come to see that just as reason gives us access to the existence of numbers, so it is reason that gives us access to the existence of God.

TV Interview with Fr. Mitch Pacwah SJ on EWTN Live (8/19/2020)
"The Catholic Church has always defended the role of reason in defending her faith. So you don't have to be a Catholic to understand the answers given in this book, for they are accessible to anyone who believes in the power of reason. Just try it!"
