The timeless question of God’s existence is given scientific support from a pair of French authors in an upcoming English edition release of “God, the Science, the Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution.”
French authors Michel-Yves Bollore and Olivier Bonnassies first published in 2021. Their Oct. 14 release of the 580-page English version hails the “great reversal” as science is now supporting — rather than undermining — belief in God and “forcefully put the question of the existence of a creator God back on the table,” The Sunday Times reported.
While “this is not a book about faith or religion,” according to Bollore, science helps show belief in a creator is rational — and that atheism requires just as much faith.
“We are all believers,” he said. “Believers in God believe, with some evidence — and believers in materialism, they believe in plenty of things which are a little bit weird.”
Even the Big Bang is still a theory, something science falls short of definitively proving.
“You cannot prove it,” Bollore said of both science and God. “You have evidence for one theory — the existence of God. And you have evidence for the other one, which is the nonexistence of God. The best you can do is to compare the two sides of the scale.”
Bollore, 79, and Bonnassies, 59, both trained in science as successful entrepreneurs, argue that far from disproving religion, modern science has “come full circle” and now makes the case for a creator unavoidable.
Advances in astrophysics, quantum theory, and genetics, they argue, point to a universe that had a singular beginning and a level of biological complexity that defies explanation by chance alone.
“If the universe had a beginning, we cannot avoid the question of creation,” wrote Nobel Prize-winning physicist Robert Wilson in the book’s foreword. Evidence such as the Big Bang, he noted, suggests a moment of origin — implying a cause beyond the physical universe.
The authors also highlight the origin of DNA as another mystery pointing toward intelligent design.
“DNA appeared 3.8 billion years ago and is a technological marvel — far beyond anything humanity has built,” according to Bonnassies.
The improbability of such a complex code arising by chance, they argue, bolsters the case for a guiding intelligence.
“Believers were irrational people,” Bonnassies admitted he once thought: “God, the Resurrection, the Virgin Mary — I found it crazy.”
But logic gave him belief to the contrary.
“The surprise was there were many rational reasons to believe in God,” he concluded.
The Holy Bible is hailed as the best-selling book of all time at 7 billion copies.
The Bollore and Bonnassies book has sold 400,000 copies since its 2021 French release, and the initial English print run is 110,000, according to The Sunday Times.
