In The Beginning: Evidence For God From Physics - Study Guide

by Robert J. Spitzer

The Study Guide for In The Beginning course includes detailed notes for each unit of the series, reflection questions for adult audiences, and two scholarly (referenced) articles summarizing the evidence for God from physics and the evidence for the survival of human consciousness (after bodily death) from near-death experiences. A former president of Gonzaga University from 1998-2009, Fr. Spitzer has authored several books including New Proofs for the Existence of God: Contributions of Contemporary Physics and Philosophy. The In the Beginning explores the content of this book including these course topics: The Big Bang and Our Universe (48 min), Did the Universe Have a Beginning? (53 min), Is There Evidence of Fine-tuning, Design and Intelligence in the Universe? (49 min), and Physics, Evolution and the Bible (64 min). In the Beginning is an excellent resource for use by individuals or groups whether in a classroom, parish or faith study setting.
