New Proofs for the Existence of God
Contributions of Contemporary Physics and
Philosophy • Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J.
With the popularity of recent books championing atheism,
many people might never know that such books
almost completely ignore the evidence for theism
uncovered in both physics and philosophy over the
past four decades. From universal space-time asymmetry
to cosmic coincidences to the intelligibility of
reality, Fr. Robert Spitzer tackles a wealth of evidence.

nihilism; and Comte, the father of positivism.
