Section focuses on Newton and how he argued that there must be an immaterial force to explain how Gravity could work, not a purely mechanical one. He even clarified this with his interactions with Liebniz. Something must have set everything on its course and keeps the universe orderly, and Newton along with other contemporaries used this to infer God, in contrast to many scientists today who try to explain away God.

He has gotten quite technical but still explains well. Talks about Quantum Cosmology. Claims that the idea that time is a spatial dimension was an idea invented by Stephen Hawking who took Einstein's calculations and did substitutionary math (imaginary time replacing real time) to make the conclusion fit that the Universe did not have a beginning in time, even though the evidence said otherwise.

Criticizes the RNA-world hypothesis. He addresses challenges from different flavors of evolutionism. He goes into the issues with the multiverse and its relation to string theory. How it actually creates a bigger issue creating even the need for even more complex design. using Ocham's razor to show how theism is less complicated explanation. Atheists admit they don't even want "A divine foot int he door.

He talks about how design points to a theistic God and along with rejecting materialism and pantheism, explains why deism also doesn't work. He uses DNA as part of his evidence . He also briefly mentions pan spermia just to point out how it doesn't solve anything.

It gets fairly technical with science and equations but mostly to demonstrate how naturalistic explanations can't explain how the universe came to be, and theories that try to either just push the can down the road a bit (such as panspermia), or are so speculative as to be unsupportive. He also gets a little into the philosophy behind it.

Talks about how the rival theories to the Big Bang fell apart and the last issue with the big bang was resolved, but then when scientists looked more into it, it leaned more and more in the direction of a creator of some sort. It wasn't definitive proof, but it made more sense than energy and matter creating themselves.

Talks about the origins of the Big Bang theory, starting with Einstein's theory of relativity ands how space and time are connected, and how that effects light and hoe speed and distance seem to the related. The Catholic scientist that proposed what would become the big bang, but Einstein originally dismissed, said was based on Christian creation view, but started seeing evidence for.

Goes into the theories and observations about light, in being able to tell how far away stars and galaxies are (ie Red shift) and if the universe was finite or infinite. Says Poe beat astronomers to the idea of a spatially finite universe. Hubble then plays a big part in the debate.

Scientific materialism, and he includes, Darwin, Freud and Marx in this as their theories were based on the assumption. The lead to the idea that science and faith were incompatible.

Kant particularly opposed the Kalam argument as he disputed the universe had a beginning. While Newton believed in God, he also believed the universe was infinite, and that stars kept equilibrium against each other, but secularists picked up on this. Design argument attacked by Hume as he said organisms differed from machines, they could reproduce. Paley defended design.

Scientists started rejecting the idea of God during the enlightenment. IN particular the author blames such Hume, Kant , and Comte. They may not have rejected Goe entirely, but accepted a more deistic God, but rejected God as a cause and continued interaction in the world. Talks about the Kalam argument originated from Muslims.
