Reasonable Faith: The Scientific Case for Christianity [Paperback]

Dr. Jay Wile (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1997

This concise, easy-to-read book gives a complete argument for the validity of the Christian faith. By highlighting the physical, chemical, and biological evidence indicating that the world was designed, the author demonstrates that science points unmistakably to the existence of God -- and not just any god, but the God of the Bible. This book contains powerful arguments that will challenge the non-Christian and bolster the faith of longtime believers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Apologetics, April 16, 2004

By 

Ben M. Fournier (Saint Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reasonable Faith: The Scientific Case for Christianity (Paperback)

Dr. Jay Wile has a PhD in Nuclear Chemistry and he works as a consultant for a medical laboratory. In this book he outlines the scientific case for the Christian faith.

From the complex designs found in nature, Dr. Wile illustrates how there must be a designer. From there he shows how the Bible passes the tests for historical documents, and then highlights some of the `Fingerprints of God' found in the Bible.

My dad, who holds a BA degree with majors in both Chemistry and Physics, has been impressed with this man's knowledge of science. And I, as a student taking Dr Wile's Chemistry course, enjoy his understandable writing style.

God Bless Ya'll,

Ben Fournier

This review is from: Reasonable Faith: The Scientific Case for Christianity (Paperback)

I really enjoyed the writing style of the book. Scientific study based "If-then" logic, mixed with common sense coffee talk. Not only does Dr. Wile give examples to support his points, he gives solid references from other ligitimate sources. The size of the book is also a non-intimidating plus for people sceptical of the subject, or just want a quick reference.

Well worth the read.
