Book 1 of 2:
SCIENCE DISCOVERS GOD: Seven convincing lines of evidence for His existence
Brief Description
Does God really exist?
A lot of scientific data is hard to explain if you don’t believe in God. This book presents that data in a simple understandable style. It also discusses the key issues between science and religion and the reasons why the scientific community now rejects God.
This book is introduced by a brief historical sketch that leads into the surprising fact that four out of ten scientists in the United States believe in a personal God who answers their prayers. The paradox is that very few, if any, of these scientists will publish about God in scientific journals and textbooks. What many scientists believe in, and what they publish about when they take a scientific stance can be very different things.
The book then discusses a number of key issues related to the existence of God. These include the intricate organization of the matter of the universe and the precision of the forces of physics. This is followed by a number of biological topics including the origin of life, the genetic code, and complexities such as the eye and the brain. Consideration is then given to the problem time poses for evolution when the fossil record is analyzed. It turns out that the geologic eons are totally inadequate for the improbabilities postulated.
The last third of the book addresses the intriguing question of why is it that, in the context of so much data that seems to require a God in order to explain what we see, scientists still remains silent about Him? That question is broached from the perspective of both the sociological strength of dominant ideas, like evolution, and the exclusiveness and elitism of a very successful scientific enterprise. The conclusion of the book is that science is providing abundant evidence that there is a God. The hope is that scientists are going to allow God back into the science perspective, as was the case for the pioneers of modern science.

ORIGINS: Linking Science and Scripture
Brief Description
Are the realms of science and the Bible irreconcilable?
Has science and its theory of evolution disproved the Bible? Is there no meaning to humanity’s existence? This book argues that there is a lot of scientific evidence that supports the biblical account of beginnings, and that taken together science and the Bible give us a more complete and sensible view of the world around us.
This book attempts to show that the dichotomy between science and Scripture is not what is often surmised and that there is a reasonable harmony between the two.
The focus is especially on those topics that present the greatest challenge to Scripture and to science. Questions are approached from a variety of perspectives. Starting with the history of the conflict the book then considers biological, paleontological, and geological interpretations. These are followed by evaluations of science, of Scripture, and of views intermediate between the creation concept of Scripture and the evolutionary model of science.
One of the premises of this treatise is that truth ought to make sense. In other words, truth will bear up under investigation. However, that investigation should be comprehensive enough to be meaningful to the questions posed. One of the disappointing aspects of humanity is that more often than many of us are willing to admit, we believe what we want to believe, instead of what data are saying. This is why it is so important in our search for truth to avoid relying on conjecture and to pay particular attention to the firmest anchor points we can find. As a practicing scientist, the author takes science very seriously. As one who values meaning and religion, the author also takes the Bible very seriously.

A WORD OF CAUTION
There is a book by the title “Ariel A. Roth” that is available from several book agents on the Internet. The book which is edited by Frederic P. Miller, Agnes F. Vandome, and John McBrewster, refers to the author of this website but provides only three pages of text about him. The information is mostly from the Vitae provided on this website. The rest of the 138 pages of that book consists mainly of Wikipedia information about distant organizations such as universities and churches not especially related to the author. While the material is not erroneous, the book is not recommended because the contents do not fit the title and because of its exorbitant price. It appears to be an attempt to commercially capitalize on the author’s name.
