BA: Hello this is Brian Auten from Apologetics 315. Today I interview Edgar Andrews. He is the Ameritus Professor of Materials at the University of London, and an international expert at the science of large molecules, or polymers. He has published well over 100 scientific research papers and books as well as two Bible commentaries and various works on science and religion, and on theology. In addition to an even longer list of impressive credentials and accomplishments, Prof. Andrews is also the author of Who Made God? Searching for a Theory of Everything. The purpose of our interview is to find out more about the relationship between science and faith, discuss Prof. Andrews' book, his apologetic approach, and learn from his experiences. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today, Prof. Andrews.

EA: Well it's my pleasure.

BA: Would you mind telling our listeners a little more about yourself.

Today's interview is with scientist Edgar Andrews, Emeritus Professor of Materials at the University of London and author of Who Made God: Searching for a Theory of Everything. He talks about his career as a scientist, his debate with Richard Dawkins in 1986, the relationship between faith and science, his reason for writing Who Made God, his hypothetical approach to the God question, his critique of Victor Stenger's hypothesis, advice for apologists, communicating to "the man on the street" and more.

You might think that Who Made God? Searching for a Theory of Everything by Edgar Andrews is a “just another” popular-level response to the new atheism. But you’d be wrong. While it is a popular-level book, it is anything but a typical response. British scientist Edgar Andrews (who himself debated Dawkins in 1986) takes a unique and extremely readable approach that not only critiques the likes of Richard Dawkins and Victor Stenger, but also makes a case for Christianity from a scientific perspective. He makes his case with reason and logic, all while weaving it together with clever wit, interesting analogies, and a unique style. The result is a book with a great deal of scientific depth, while remaining completely accessible to both the expert and the man on the street. This review will highlight some of the apologetic angles that Andrews takes.
