God Is Not a Hypothesis: Life Stories Meet Science: My Journey to Hard Facts on Biology, Gender, and Evolution

by Gasser Gamaz

When I immigrated to the US from a conservative religious upbringing, I grappled with profound questions about gender and evolution in a world where faith often feels sidelined.
Join me on this transformative journey through my life stories and uncover the hidden truths about gender, evolution, and religion that changed everything.
Discover how these insights can guide you toward inner peace amid life's biggest questions

Thirty transformative years—East to West, uncertainty to confidence, darkness to light, lies to truth.
God is not a Hypothesis offers a transformative journey where science and spirituality meet in candid conversation. Written by Dr. Gasser Gamaz, a PhD scientist and devout believer, the book bridges the gap between empirical biology and faith-driven insight, providing readers with a unique, cross-disciplinary dialogue. It tackles some of life’s biggest questions – from whether life is the result of random evolution or intentional design to how hormones influence identity and morality – in a respectful and accessible way that transcends black-and-white thinking. Through personal stories (spanning childhood in Egypt to aUSmia in the U.S.) and rigorous critiques of atheist arguments, the author invites open-minded truth-seekers to find “harmony between reason and revelation”.
This compelling value proposition promises readers of all backgrounds – religious or scientific – an enlightening experience that challenges assumptions and unites head and heart in the search for truth. Notably, the book appeals equally to theologians, scientists, and anyone curious about the intersection of faith and science.

Utopia Unveiled: Why does the dream of inner peace always seem just out of reach?
Biology vs. Divine Design: Is life the product of random evolution or intentional purpose?

Hormones and Identity: Explore the science behind gender, sexuality, and what makes us uniquely human.

Faith Under Fire: From the Torah, Bible, and Quranic revelations to modern debates on morality and control, discover a fresh and respectful dialogue.
Through engaging “Religious Self vs. Scientific Self” debates, vivid personal stories (from childhood in Egypt to academic life in the US and the UK), and rigorous critiques of atheist viewpoints, Dr. Gamaz shows how to transcend black-and-white thinking and discover harmony between reason and revelation. God Is Not a Hypothesis resonates with theologians, scientists, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of faith and science, bringing together intellect and spirituality in a unified search for meaning.

[Susanna Eun · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a deeply insightful and well-researched exploration of one of humanity’s most profound questions — the relationship between faith and science. The author skillfully weaves together diverse topics such as biology, evolution, climate change, and human behavior, illuminating how scientific understanding and spiritual belief can both challenge and complement each other.

What makes this book particularly compelling is the creative dialogue between the “Scientific Self” and the “Religious Self.” Each presents thoughtful, balanced, and rational perspectives that invite readers to reflect on their own views rather than taking sides.

While the book primarily frames God within the traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, a future edition that expands to include perspectives from Eastern and African spiritual philosophies could make the discussion even richer.

Ultimately, the book conveys a powerful message: God is not a hypothesis to be tested, but the infinite, ungraspable essence of all existence — while science, ever-evolving, continues to reveal the many ways this mystery expresses itself. A more fitting title might even be The Absolute and the Relative, capturing the eternal dance between what we can know and what forever transcends our understanding.

In the book "GOD is not a Hypothesis," the author examines subjects such as evolution, gender, biology, creation, and others from both a religious and scientific perspective. A debate ensues between the "Religious Self" and the "Scientific Self" regarding these topics. "Religion" encompasses Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, with a notable preference for the teachings of the Quran. "Science" is presented from the teachings of Darwin, Einstein, Coyne, and others. The book tackles difficult and pertinent questions and serves to bridge science with religion to show how they complement each other. It also exposes limitations of both science and religion. Personal stories and reflections by the author add an interesting element. Readers will gain new perspectives from this book.

I have to give this author 5 stars… it was an incredibly well researched book, with so much detail that I fould myself drifting off topic a few times, thinking deeply about the particular argument or viewpoint that was being made. This book was so well documented, I also found myself drilling down into the research the author was referencing to support his viewpoints.

I particulary enjoyed the opposing views offered by the author’s scientific vs religious dialogues. This was a ingenious way of offering opposing perspectives to the particular topic at hand.

I was drawn to the book as I have followed Professor Dawkins arguments and his books and have also reviewed a number of Dr Peterson’s perspectives. The book did not dissapoint.

This book needs to be read and studied, which is not the way I approached it. It was a bit critical of the Christian and Jewish Bibles and a little more lenient with the Quran. The comparison between science and religion was interesting. This would be interesting for a book club that enjoys debating.

God Is Not a Hypothesis brilliantly bridges science and faith, blending personal stories with deep insights on evolution, identity, and purpose. Inspiring and thought-provoking a must-read for every truth-seeker.
