A Purpose Driven God

Who am I, why am I here, and where am I going? Why is there something and not nothing? These are questions most of us ask ourselves at some point in our lives. For the secular materialist, we are all made of stardust and are here by chance and chance alone, with no particular purpose. When we die, we will turn back into the stardust from whence we came, with no afterlife and no accountability. The best we can do is eat, drink, and be merry, and free will is nothing more than an illusion.

However, the universe is exquisitely fine-tuned, and it seems fine-tuned especially for the existence of mankind. Purpose is found in physics, the biologic world, the human body, and even in mathematics and all the physical constants that make up the fabric of the universe. There seems, indeed, to be some purpose for which we have been placed on this earth.

So, which is it? Is there purpose in life, or are we just a part of a very lucky sequence of events? Dr. Kirkwood seeks to answer these important questions by looking at the evidence to determine the inference to the best explanation. The answers to these questions are more than just academic; they are vitally important in forming our worldview.
