Proof : There Is A God! [Paperback]

Dr. Steve Martin (Author), Jim Trombly (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 11, 2000

This bold new book dares to go where others fear to tread. Attempting to disprove the old adage, "No one can prove that God exists!" Steve Martin and Jim Trombly lead the reader on an amazing voyage ranging from the moment of the universe's creation to the complex depths of human DNA. Stops along the way carry the reader from the beginning of time and space, across the broad sweep of history, to the stories found in today's newspaper and tonight's television broadcast. Dr. Martin holds advanced theological degrees, combined with a deep interest in science. This could have led to some extremely controversial and deeply heady issues. That's where Jim Trombly comes in. His singular purpose: "Keep it Simple!" Coming from northern New England, Dr. Martin likens the process of writing this book to making maple syrup. "God provided the raw materials. My job was to gather the buckets of information. Then keep boiling it down, boiling it down... burning off the impurities to get to the sweet stuff. Then Jim tested it, offering suggestions for improving the taste until it was just right! Oh, yeah. He's also responsible for the packaging." The result? This is not a scientific treatise or theological tome. It's not difficult to read or understand, and it's anything but boring! Can you live your life without reading this book? Sure! But who wants pancakes without the good stuff! If you've always thought, "I'd believe in God if only there were some proof of God's existence," be warned. After reading this book you'll have no more excuse. Prepare to change your view of reality!

1.0 out of 5 stars "Proof There Is A God" Very Disappointing, September 11, 2001

This review is from: Proof : There Is A God! (Paperback)

After reading all of the information I could get my hands on about this book. I must say I was very disappointed once I purchased and read it.
The basis for the book is on the shroud, which is where most of the book concentrates. Still under heavy scrupulation, nothing really proven yet.
Again, very disappointed. Was looking for cold hard facts.
