Produktbeschreibung

Proof: The Rational Case for God A Book for Skeptics. A Challenge for Atheists. A Companion for Seekers. In a world dominated by scientific confidence and philosophical doubt, Proof: The Rational Case for God offers something rare: a calm, structured, intellectually serious examination of whether belief in a Creator is rationally defensible. Barry B. Kaplan, author of Horology and a lifelong student of philosophy, cosmology, and Torah, began this project as a response to an atheist friend's insistence that only the scientific method can meaningfully address the question of God. What started as a private debate became a seven-year investigation spanning physics, consciousness, history, archaeology, probability, linguistics, and metaphysics. The result is a uniquely disciplined book-one that never asks the reader to suspend reason or accept borrowed conclusions. Instead, Kaplan rebuilds the question of God from the ground up. What is perception? What is evidence? What is necessary existence? Why is there something rather than nothing? Through clear, accessible explanations, Proof guides the reader from Plato's Cave to Descartes' Meditations, from quantum puzzles to cosmological fine-tuning, from the logic of Bayesian reasoning to the structural uniqueness of the Sinai claim. It presents the quiet, unfalsified accuracy of ancient Torah laws; the mathematical precision underlying biblical patterns; and the surprising convergence between physics, consciousness, and the metaphysical architecture encoded in Hebrew. Rather than preaching, Kaplan engages the reader in a genuine inquiry. He does not aim to convert. He aims to illuminate-and to show that the choice is not between blind faith and scientific certainty. The real choice is between unreasonable doubt and reasonable belief. Along the way, Proof confronts the hardest questions head-on: divine hiddenness, suffering, the silence of God, the reliability of tradition, the nature of miracles, and the limits of empirical inquiry. The book's closing movement explores the structural depth of Creation as reflected in number, language, dimension, and time-where physics and metaphysics begin to converge. For the reader seeking a serious intellectual framework for God, this book provides it. For the skeptic willing to entertain the possibility that their assumptions may be incomplete, this book opens doors. For the believer who wants to understand how faith and reason can harmonize, this book strengthens the foundation. Proof: The Rational Case for God is an invitation to reconsider what you think you know, to examine the evidence with disciplined curiosity, and to discover that the rational path may lead somewhere unexpected.
