Keith Ward鈥檚 God, Chance and Necessity (Oneworld Publications,
拢9.99/$14.95, ISBN 1 85168 116 7) is a refutation of what the
author, Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University, calls 鈥渘ew
materialism鈥濃�攖he claim that science and religious belief are
irreconcilable. Stripping scientific atheism of what he considers fallacies and
illogical leaps in argument, he maintains that scientific progress actually
strengthens the evidence for a designed universe and hence the existence of God.
These are rarefied intellectual realms, and the book has to be wrestled with
every step of the way 鈥�
