About Does Ggod Exist? A Dispassionate Treatise.
A science philosophy piece which addresses the age old question does God Exist?
The “Gloves are off” as an Atheist and Theist boxer are imagined to enter the ring in a combative debate to promote their world-view. Science, reason and logical argumentation are brought forth in view of an extensive examination of modern cosmological models, to determine what likelihood, if any, there is either a philosophical need, or scientific expectation for a purposeful Creator and Masterful Controller of our Cosmos.
While respecting and detailing old traditional philosophic positions for God’s existence such as the Kalam argument (made famous by theologian William Lane Craig), the book also dares to cross theological lines by suggesting real, plausible mechanisms for God’s existence, based on physics and probabilities. Indeed a new cosmological model is put forth which suggests a God, and maybe even the God of the Bible, could plausibly naturally manifest.
Differing theories of space/time (i.e. Emergent “Growing Block” vs. Fait Accompli “Eternal Block”) as well as various positions on “infinity” (i.e. actual vs. potential) are explored, to assess whether a God may, in any number of possible realities, plausibly exist.
Traditional and novel argumentation is set forth in view to a climatic “Decision”.
An Essential Read if questioning God’s existence!

Author Bio:
Andrew K. Hoffmann (Vancouver, BC, Canada) was born to Inge and Kenneth in Port Alberni, a small town located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in 1966. Married in the great city of Vancouver to his lovely wife Rani, the Universe granted Andrew his greatest gift in birth of his son Sorin, to whom this book is co-dedicated.
Andrew attended Simon Fraser University (BSc. in Biochemistry, 1992) and went on to study various forms of cardiac testing at the BC Institute of Technology (1994). Andrew is also an accomplished technical writer, having published numerous peer-reviewed research articles and patents regarding the use of low-frequency vibration for treatment of coronary disease, heart attack and stroke.
Brought up Lutheran, Andrew admits he found going to his small local church exceedingly boring, and like many kids grew up with a general but somewhat non-specific belief in God. Probably a love of philosophy along with a fear of death in middle age motivated Andrew to rekindle his interest in figuring out whether a God truly existed.
"There is a terrible communication gap and bias between the theist philosophers and atheistic scientists. This book aims to assist with translation of the two world views and sort out reasonable contentions from logical incoherence in view to drawing plausible conclusions."
