Does God Exist?: New Discoveries
The contentious debate about whether or not God exists has raged ever since man first gazed into the heavens and pondered the universe. But recent discoveries, coupled with what was already known, all point in the same God exists. This commentary strives to demonstrate this. The nature of things strongly suggests Intelligent Design. It is particularly noteworthy how many prominent physicists, cosmologists, and astronomers now accept the possible existence of God.

What an awesome narrative by Donald Ackermann to depict God’s Intelligent Design, Anthropic Principle, and more. It’s a deep study for scientists, Christian scholars, and anyone who loves to find answers to mysteries.
One of the things that fascinated me about this book is the unique stands about intelligent designs. This includes everything, including the ecosystem, photosynthetic activities, and more. He shows that God is in nature but is not limited to nature which most pantheists believe. The Earth is self-balancing in many ways. Very fascinating and intriguing that for sure would raise interest to the readers. I am glad to give this book a perfect five stars rating. Reading it is a whole new experience putting an alternative view to every skeptical belief.

This book is for certain the best Christian guidebook that I’ve ever read so far. It’s loaded with all fun, amazing journeys of Don, and deep study of science and religion.
Unequivocally speaking, as though some may think that this is a one-sided book, this book reports accounts based on pure facts and weighs every side of the coin. To conclude, this book does not turn a blind eye, nor does it promote any religion or denomination. This is only a deep study based on facts presented by the author by different scientists and highly educated people. This is actually going to leave the reader something to ponder upon. After reading the book, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment, knowing that each one of us, including the non-living things, has a purpose in life.

This is the best Chrisitan nonfiction guidebook I’ve encountered in my entire scan. It was very well written and highly educational to encourage everyone about the different views of scientists regarding the veracity of the bible and God based on science.
You could really see how the author poured his passion by providing well-researched insights that could really change one’s perspective. In conclusion, according to the author, which may be one of my favorites, was his take on the turning point of one’s life. While healthy and alive, non-believers may simply deny God, but in times of adversary, especially when near death, they turn to God immediately. Credits to the author for laying down all possibilities in science with regards to God. It’s a book that must be read especially to professors, scientists, science enthusiasts, and non-believers. For the sake of awareness, this book is perfect for everyone.

In "Does God Exist?," Donald Ackermann embarks on a philosophical journey to explore the age-old question of God's existence. Through a combination of recent scientific discoveries, known facts, and personal reflections, Ackermann endeavors to present a compelling case for Intelligent Design and the possible existence of a Supreme Being.
The book's premise sets the stage for an open and honest discussion, where the author humbly acknowledges that he doesn't possess all the answers. As someone who grew up Catholic but has since strayed into the murky waters of agnosticism, I appreciated this. As the readers delve into Ackermann's narrative, they are taken back to his youth when he was an avowed atheist. He recounts a pivotal moment in his life, when two God-fearing men profoundly influenced his beliefs and set him on a path to explore the existence of God.
Drawing from a lifetime of experience and profound insight, Ackermann shares his perspective on the human soul's intrinsic connection to divinity. He believes that most of humanity possesses a subconscious affinity for God. Throughout the book, he contemplates the idea that the pursuit of scientific knowledge may be, in part, driven by the deep-rooted human desire to find answers to questions about God's existence. I’m not sure that I agree with this notion, but it is one of the more palatable arguments for intelligent design that I have come across.
Speaking of which, in his review of prominent theologians, scientists, and archaeologists, Ackermann highlights a growing acceptance of the potential existence of God within these academic circles. He contends that despite the apparent disbelief of many scientists, there remains an underlying hope that the answer to the question of God's existence will be affirmative, as only a divine entity could save humanity from its own shortcomings. This is true – many of the world’s brightest minds in history have been believers of varying degrees.
With candor and genuine introspection, Donald Ackermann presents a compelling case for the existence of God. He deftly combines scientific evidence, philosophical contemplations, and personal anecdotes to engage readers on a profound journey of self-discovery and contemplation.
"Does God Exist?" I, as a reader, find that I do not have an answer. But this book challenges us to ponder the question with a fresh perspective. I appreciate that despite the premise, this book does not come across as preachy, nor did I feel alienated as a non-believer at any point. Whether you approach the book with a staunch belief in God's existence or a firm disbelief, this work is bound to inspire spirited discussions and personal reflections on the enigmatic question of our existence.

Does God Exist?: New Discoveries is a memoir and a study of the evidence and proof about the existence of God based on science, philosophy, and the Bible.
It is amazing how the author started the book with his own personal experience way back when he was a little younger. At the age of 19, Don had to go away and find a new job to help a friend get into the army. Here we see Don meeting John, his new boss, and Don was assigned to be a land surveyor and work on a pipeline. He has to manage a crew of not less than seven people. His crew is composed of older people with different religions and backgrounds, and he has to blend in to gain their trust despite his young age. The beginning was intense. One could truly see how Don struggled in every way. First, he has to adjust to the different attitudes in order to be efficient in his job. Secondly, he was chased by alligators, moccasins, and bulls. They were struck by lightning, too. It was a tough call for Don and the crew. Finally, Don had to say goodbye to the crew, his boss, and his favorite roommate. It was very dramatic and heartwarming. Don was loved and became a successful rodman. He gained trust and respect from them. The gift was a pleasant surprise. This book could be useful to pastors, Sunday school teachers, Bible study facilitators, new converts, mature Christians, and the unsaved. Anyone who wants to have a closer walk with God should get a copy of this book. I don’t think any Christian will be the same after reading this book.

Highly educational! That’s for sure of the best phrases to describe this book. I learned so much about God and science. Is there really a Supreme Being who is beyond what our finite mind could imagine. The story of Don was exciting, too. I mean, this book has all the excitement, the thrill, the surprise, and the education. If there’s one book that I could read over and over, this could be it.
What I liked the most about the book was the story of Don. I didn’t expect that the author would include some of his memoirs way back when he was 19 years old when he worked as a pipeline project manager and had a crew of about seven older people having different beliefs and issues in life. The adaptation, the adjustments, and the job itself were a challenge. But I’m glad that Don was able to make things right, at the right time and at the right places. If there’s one thing that I disliked about the book was the part where the author interpreted the creation based on Gen. 1:1-2, which says that the 7-day creation was a 7000 years creation. Personally, even if we believe that the seven-day creation was actually a 24-hour day as we know it, it still supports the idea that the Earth is old because God didn't create a baby world. He created a matured world, a matured Adam and Eve, matured trees and everything.
Overall, it was a tough read with lots of interesting facts to think about and study. I think I’m going to give this book a five out of five stars rating. It has ignited my interests just enough, and the information is unique and intriguing.

A very good resource book to inspire every individual and boost their faith in God. This book does not only introduce the readers to the wonderful, thought-provoking, and profound insights about science and religion, but also it introduces them to the wonderful memoir of Don, the author, when he was 19 years old, going 20. His life wasn’t easy. Hated by his father and had to work for his siblings and mother for survival, Don is a hard-working, talented young man. But his faith and patience were never tested until his journey to Louisiana, where he worked as a rodman land surveyor through the bayous of Louisiana. One thing that I liked the most about his life story was the goodbyes and farewells. It was dramatic yet inspiring. I love how the story ended with a conversion of the heart.
If there’s one thing that I am not quite satisfied with in the book, it would be the interpretation of the author about creation, where he stated that the seven-day creation was actually a 7000-year creation. From a Christian point of view, I disagree with this idea because the bible clearly states that each day signifies sunset to sunset creation which we interpreted as 24 hours. However, these ideas are still worth studying for more clarification, and I’m just glad that the author brought this kind of insight for readers to think about and ponder upon. Nonetheless, this book is a total of five out of five stars. Highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprised! Friendship is important in life because it teaches us valuable lessons that we can’t learn at school or at home. It was surprising that through friendship, Don found God in his heart.
The beginning of the story finds Don, Harry, and Al on a journey to Louisiana to find new beginnings. However, due to their different points of view in life, the three didn’t get along well. Now, Don has to wait for his friend Jim and Frank to finish their enlistment in the Army Airforce that’s stationed in Shreveport. While waiting, Don found a job as a rodman who works for a pipeline. With his previous job experience as a land surveyor, he matched the job’s preference. There, he met John, and the fun part began. They were chased by alligators, a bull, and water moccasins. They were struck by lightning also. His adventure in Louisiana was a whole new experience. He thought he couldn’t make it, but in the end, everything went well, and there he found God through Jim who gave him a crucifix. I love Don’s story. It was simple yet hard to forget and filled with a lot of valuable lessons to learn. Moreover, this book talks about the existence of God and why believing in God is important.

The belief in the existence of God even before became the most debated topic of all time. This book is crucial to this topic because it’s packed with research based on science and the bible that for sure would interest anyone that reads.
If for no other reason than being aware of what’s happening in this world, this book is right for you. It’s a quick read that you owe to yourself to find meaning and purpose in life. Not just any purpose but God’s purpose. According to the author, for everything that exists, there is a purpose for its being. The story of Don was something that I couldn’t forget. It is filled with hope, love, and faith. Hated by his father at an early age, Don had to walk away and find a job in order to support himself. Working as a rodman, Don finds John, the owner and the boss of the pipeline project. John had his own issues, yet he encouraged Don to be strong and resilient despite his young age to handle a crew of older people with years of experience. It wasn’t easy, but Don made it all the way. The time has come to say goodbye to his roommate Travis and his boss John and the rest of the crew. Don received a token that totally changed his whole life forever.

A delightful story of a young boy who was hated by his father and went out to Louisiana together with his two friends, Harry and Al, to find greener pastures. However, life went sideways after they had a little argument about financial issues. It left Don to find ways and work as a rodman for a pipeline project where he had to manage a group of older people with different issues in life. John, the boss of the work assignment, became a good friend to Don, and the two made a connection, especially after all the challenges they encountered while working in the bayou. The ending of the story was a little dramatic, and I’m sure it’s going to leave a tear in your eye if you have a soft heart.
Does God Exist?: New Discoveries is a story that’s going to give you intensity and surprise before diving into a profound subject about God. The author’s point is intriguing. You wouldn’t believe that this book is written from an atheist's point of view. I’m not going to spoil anything. I’ll leave the rest to the readers to delve into the pages and get fascinated. I highly recommend this book.

A powerful book that could transform lives by just reading it. This is a story of a group of young boys named Don, Al, and Harry who wanted to find lives in other states, but things got complicated after having issues with money. Although Don is just about 20 years old, he managed to be a role model to his friends and found work as a rodman in a pipeline going to a bayou managed by a boss named John. Since Don had to wait until summer ended for his friend Jim to finish the army, he applied as a land surveyor for John, though he didn’t have any experience at all. In the work field, Don was faced with challenges. First, he had to find the strength to manage the group of middle-aged people. Next, he had to gain the trust of John as his boss to keep his job. Finally, the unwanted visitors, just like the alligators, the moccasins, and the bull.
The second chapter of this book is quite amazing too. It’s complete with footnotes and bibliographies about science and wonders to tell that God is present. I love the fact the author was careful with his words to tackle the subject of religion and God. This is a great book to read during pastimes to increase one’s faith in God.

Enthralling, captivating, and engaging book to read. It’s a whole new experience to learn about a story of a young boy who made his life a bit more exciting.
One of the best values this book has tackled was the power of friendship and parenting. Don was hated by his drunken father, and so he ventured to another place to find a better life together with the gang. He met John, his boss, Jim, and Mike, who asked him about his belief in God. Don wasn’t a very religious man, yet he answered with honesty and wit. From that moment on, he gained the trust of his workers and his boss. Personally, I love the story. It was heartwarming and surprising. You could see a young boy turned into a man with values. I also love the fact that the author included science in trying to prove that God exists.
I’m glad that I took this book with an open mind. It includes a lot of scientists, just like Robert Jastrow, that lead his research to a biblical view of the origin of the world. Although the details differ, the content from his point of view and the Bible, especially in Genesis, are the same.

An absolutely phenomenal book to read and spend time with. Donald Ackermann writes with passion and intensity, keeping the book engaging and straight on point. I finished reading this book in a matter of days, and to be honest, this book is hard to put down. The story of Don really melted my heart. From beginning to end, he showed the true spirit of morality despite the fact he had his fair share of mistakes. But if you follow closely, you would see a young soul being transformed into a man. The second chapter of this book, too, gives immeasurable amounts of information regarding the evidence and proofs about the existence of God. It did cease to amaze me. In this book, the author emphasized that some scientists are finding God and made a study. When Dan Brown wrote The Da Vinci Code, he concluded that the bible didn’t make sense. But if you dig deep, as the author concluded, one could start to see an order and spiritual aspect to science, making religion and science compatible.
This book is something to read about. If you are into this kind of theme, I’m sure you are going to love the book and the way the author delivered them. I love it!

This book starts with the courageous life of Don. At the age of 19, he went out together with the gang to another place to help his two friends get admitted into the army. There, he found a new job similar to his. He was assigned to be on a crew for this pipeline project. Although this job is similar to his previous one, this is his first time handling a group of older people with different characteristics and attitudes. He knew that at his age, he would be bullied and disrespected. So Don held his ground and focused on doing things right. It was unexpected and surprising that Don gained the respect that he deserved from these people. One of the things that really caught my attention was when they shared food with Don, and Jim asked him if he believed in God. He knew that it was a trick question, and one wrong answer could be his last. It was surprising that he handled it professionally. You could see here Don growing to be a man. In all honesty, I enjoyed reading the book. And I’m glad to recommend this one.

Of all the books that talked about the existence of God, this one stood out the best. In general, I don’t like to talk about this kind of subject because I know it is sensitive for some people. However, this book is just intriguing and would truly capture your attention. Take the term Intelligent Design for example. The author has a very interesting point of view on this subject. One of which is the belief that everything exists for a purpose. The universe, the sun, the Earth, our solar system, the lights, the planets, the stars, and more don’t happen by chance. Each of them has a purpose of serving. And just like us, we have a purpose in this world; that’s why we exist. It’s not just a mere coincidence, as some believe. When the Earth rotates, it gives seasons from spring to summer, fall to winter, and spring again.
The information that one could learn from this book is vast. It is a study of a Supreme Being backed with Science and Discoveries that would surely captivate the reader. A collection of discoveries to confirm the presence of God. This is the book that one should be reading nowadays.

A lot to say about this book. As soon as I read the first chapters, it slowly became my favorite. It’s hard to put down. The story of Don was a pleasant surprise! At the age of 19, he went out to venture to another place together with the gang. However, his relationship with the gang didn’t go well. Don wanted to find a job in Louisiana, but Al and Harry just wanted to have some fun. Don knew exactly the responsibilities and that finding a job is important to support their needs. Don went out to work as a rodman for a pipeline project. Even at his young age, Don was able to gain the respect that he deserved from his crew. It was a beautiful experience for him to work in the pipeline. He didn’t expect to have his faith rekindle through that simple gift, the crucifix.
Moreover, the other part of this book is an in-depth study based on science and discoveries about God and faith. It’s quite interesting to know that the author brought a lot of scientists into the matter and their related studies, which are very surprising. It’s something that one should learn about. I highly recommend this book.

From beginning to end, the element of surprise and profound insights found in this book are second to none. I was deeply surprised at how educational this book is. Every topic is well discussed, and you can really tell that the author writes with passion and knowledge. He raised the idea of having a purpose in life. Not just for human beings, but all living and nonliving things came into existence with a purpose. The sun and rain are needed for photosynthetic activity in order to help the plants convert CO2 into O2. You don’t have to think of something else other than what was being written. And it’s a good thing for me because this book is a guidebook, and the details are real and true, consequently, important for personal growth. It fosters hope and faith.
Moreover, I’m sure you’ll love the story of Don as he ventured to Louisiana in order to survive. He was faced with a lot of challenges, but Don came out victorious. Through patience and perseverance partnered with truthfulness, Don was able to gain respect from John and his crew. The ending was a pleasant surprise, and I loved it. Great book in total!

A guide for anyone who wants to learn about science and religion and why some people believe the existence of God and some don’t.
Many scientists have gone through a thorough study about science and why believing in a Supreme Being is absurd. Most of them take Darwin’s theory of Evolution. However, as the author has said, "There’s more to this theory, it could probably be their religion." I suggest reading this book with an open mind. I’m sure you’ll appreciate every point the author makes. He brings not only Darwin’s study but also other famous scientists' and scholars’ studies and how they all point to something called Intelligent Design. Many people have been satisfied in their life without finding their real purpose. In Does God Exist?: New Discoveries, Don helps us find and realize our purpose in life in order to appreciate more the ordinary things that we see every day that we often take for granted because of this absurd belief that we all came by chance. Regardless of what your religion or belief is, if you are looking for a book that would give you immense information about science and religion, then this book should help you.

If you are looking for a book that would give you the best stories of life and also engulf you with scientific reasoning based on given facts about God, this book is for you.
The story of Don is a little surprising. At a very young age, just about 20 years old, he was able to manage a pipeline project with a group of older people with different issues in life. There he proved that even a Yankee could be respected. I also love the relationship between Don and his roommate Travis. They were pleasant friends and enjoyed their stay. Although the goodbye was difficult, they managed to contact each other. A true friend and a project manager, Don showed everyone that he is a man with values. He didn’t have a strong belief in God at first, but at the end of the story, Don found his purpose, and it was so satisfying reading his life story. This book is going to be a whole new experience. I’m sure that readers are going to appreciate every life choice that Don made, and also something that we could learn from.

One of the best religious books that I’ve ever read so far. This one is slowly becoming one of my favorites. The way the author arranged the ideas and wrote his life story was so easy to follow and understand. You don’t have to be a theologian or a scholar in order to appreciate this book. The author used easy, fine words, not highly educated terms, to try to explain the beauty of faith. Just like in his personal experience way back when he was a little younger, at the age of 19, Don made the biggest decision in his life and worked on it as a pipeline. With all the ebbs and flows he encountered, the least that he expected really did happen, and that was knowing God. His faith changed, his character changed, and his philosophy changed from that single crucifix.
This book is profitable to anyone who is doubtful about the existence of God or to anyone who already has a strong belief yet wants to learn more about the author. The ideas that Mr. Donald presents are unique and new. Something that’s not found in the other books.

If you are looking for a book that would engulf you with life-changing lessons about science and religion, look no further. This book is going to give you the most educational facts and evidence that would change your point of view in life.
One example of this nascence is the story of Don and how he was born again. I said born again because he was already a Christian but living a non-Christian life. Even though the author concluded in the end that his life changed from that simple crucifix gift, I believe that it was the result of his journey with this wonderful group of people while working in the pipeline. His life didn’t change at that moment, but his life changed from this months’ journey dealing with a crew of seven people that will drive stakes marking routes and clear the way using machetes and brush hooks. A life filled with surprise, tough lessons, challenges, and of course, faith. If you are one of those people who value life and God, you’ve got to read this book.

There is something in this book that is hard to put down. I just couldn’t stop reading. It’s like coffee, addictive in such a good way. This is how great the book is.
Skeptics always look for evidence and proof about God and its existence. This is the right book to read. If you have this kind of mindset, I’m sure you’ll find the content of this book intriguing. Moreover, Mathematicians say that the perfect symmetry of our solar system is randomly monumental, consequently leading them and scientists to a belief that our solar system is fine-tuned. Raising the question of whether this phenomenon is a coincidence or deliberate? As a result, many prominent cosmologists, physicists, and mathematicians embraced the Anthropic Principle, stating that our solar system has these properties to make Earth suitable for intelligent life.
The book is very informative, and nothing beats the way the author delivers the story, Keeping them on point and factual. I totally enjoyed the book. It’s a great way of spending your free time.

There is a brilliant idea behind this book. It’s a combination of a memoir and a deep study of science and religion. Once you start reading, it’s hard to put down. In all honesty, I finished reading the book in just a matter of days, and I didn’t regret it at all.
One of the highlights of the book was his counter statement on Darwin’s theory of evolution, where Don tried to bring all evidence to prove to the readers that science and the bible are complementary, unlike Darwin’s claim that our world is the product of the Big Bang. During the Cambrian Explosion, species displayed no gradual change but, on the contrary, just suddenly popped into existence without even the slightest indication of evolutionary ancestors as required by Darwin, as stated in the book. And it really intrigued me to study and dig deep into the matter for the sake of science. But what’s interesting is that the more evidence there is, the stronger the belief in the existence of God becomes. Kudos Don for perfecting the book.

An intricate and honest book that gives profound and groundbreaking first-hand discoveries, science-based information, and bible verses to bring the subject of God’s existence. Not only that, but the author also included one of the most unforgettable moments in his life back in Louisiana during his youthful days. Being chased by alligators, bulls, and moccasins, life wasn’t easy after all. But like the author said, each one of us has a unique path that we follow. Some may be difficult. We just have to find our purpose in life to appreciate what we have and be content. Although faith believes in things that are unseen, the author tried his best to bring every discovery into the readers’ point of view to have them reexamine their unbelief.
I particularly like the pages where he mentioned that each particular thing in this world has a purpose, whether it may be non-living or living things. They all serve a specific purpose and are interdependent thereof. When you think closely, this is the beginning of wisdom. I highly recommend it.

An intense, extensive, and dedicated book designed to educate anyone who is into finding the truth about God and the birth of the universe.
While writing this review, the world is devastated by this deadly invisible enemy that began in Wuhan, China. Many lives have perished, and many suffered. One may question, “Where is God during this time of trouble?” To make matters worse, there is tension between Ukraine and Russia. My heart grieved deeply for the victims of this unthinkable war.
Reading this book made me realize how important it is to have even just a little faith in God. I deeply appreciate the author’s effort to try to bring the message that God is real and He cares for us. In particular, I love how the author tried to bring many big names in science and how these discoveries point to this Intelligent Design and Perfect Symmetry. We did not exist by chance. Each one of us has a purpose in life. I’m sure this book would be loved by many for its vast and wonderful insights into God’s reality.

I highly recommend Does God Exist? New Discoveries to religiously and scientifically inclined minds who have the passion for finding answers to questions about God’s presence and His role in this vast universe.
The beginning was an experience I wholly enjoyed reading. Don’s life was bliss, and I like that the author included his own life story before diving into deep study. I totally admired his bravery and maturity during his early adulthood stage in life. At 19 years old, Don worked as a rodman for a pipeline project. Because of these two people, his life was changed. The goodbyes and farewells were really touching and dramatic. I could totally feel the emotion deep within. Pretty sure Don is a great writer capturing anyone’s attention and bringing them into this specific point of time in his life and sharing his feelings with the readers.
The author itself is an atheist who tries to prove that God is real. He had written several books already, and that’s why authenticity and genuineness are out of the question. A book worth reading!

What an awesome narrative by Don Ackermann to depict true leadership, friendship, and faith. Our existence in this world is not a coincidence. We are here for a purpose. Everything we see, feel, or hear has a purpose. The sun, the moon, the Earth’s orbit, the bees, rocks, insects, and all have different purposes in life, and they are all interdependent on each other. Photosynthetic activity helps convert CO2 into Oxygen, which is necessary for life. We all came from a single man ancestor, that is, Adam and Eve for women. These are just some of the intriguing ideas that the author wrote in this magnificent book of his. And I’m sure this will create curiosity in the readers’ minds, thus compelling them to read and study this book. I must admit, this book is hard to put down.
While this book lacks practicality, I still enjoyed it. I learned a lot about valuing life and Intelligent Design. Even though the author was very open about his religious belief, he didn’t promote any denominations or religions. Read it and experience it by yourselves.

An absolutely phenomenal little book to read and spend time with. Donald Ackermann writes in a way that one could easily understand. He does not write with highly technical terms. Instead, he writes with simplicity and influence. With the intense and bold statements from the other scientists and the author himself, this book is going to pierce your unbelieving heart and give you the most wonderful conversion that you’ll ever have.
While this book lacks illustrations, I still consider this book influential. You’ll be amazed how the author brings the new discoveries that've been ignored for years into the human mind. I’m glad that he did. The world as we know it is bombarded with pestilence and rumors of wars. Finding our purpose gives us hope to make better choices in life. I’m continually astonished at how Don conveys the content in an intelligible and informative manner while also providing his own opinion and other people’s opinion and well-considered thoughts on the subject of God’s existence. I’m glad to give this book a perfect five.

A good resource book for pastors, preachers, elders, and people who are interested in finding the truth behind this mysterious universe of ours. You don’t have to be a Christian or Muslim in order to appreciate this book. It is one that does not seek to inflate the downward direction of the non-believer, nor does it seek to turn a blind eye. Instead, you are taken into a captive, surprising journey and takeaways from the story of Don in his early adulthood.
The chapter where the book talks about God and new discoveries was actually the highlight of the book for me. They are crucial to people who find true meaning in their life in order to avoid hell and condemnation. As the author suggests, there’s only one way to have that assurance in life, just believe in God to be your personal savior, and the rest will follow. I urge anyone to have themselves revived and educated by reading it.
