The concept for this book was interesting. The thought of someone proving the existence of God is very interesting. The more i read the more interested i became. Overall a good book but I'm not sure if anything was proven to me. Give it a read and decide for yourself.

I think every problem I had with this book can be summed up by the Law of truly large numbers. 90% of the stories that supposedly proved the existence of God were simply coincidences that the author said could not be coincidences, because they were simply too unlikely. All stories that you might see printed in an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader or a Ripley's Believe It or Not and grunt appreciatively at, but when wrapped in the lecture setting, they come across more like the Facebook pages catering to the Boomer generation just filled with conspiracy theories, AI-generated images with 13 fingers, and Bible verses.

If you are a deep believer, you might just eat this up, but it does absolutely nothing that hundreds of religious works disguised as philosophical musings have done before it.

In a total change of book for me it was the unusual cover that attracted me to this book initially and then the blurb that promised to ‘show the invisible and thus the existence of God’

It was pretty heavy going at times tbh and it was hoping to show that ‘the invisible’ ie things we cant explain do indeed prove the existence

It had 4 readings ( lectures ) and dealt with
amongst other things ‘factual events that cannot be explained’ but are proven to have happened including the fascinating case of the identical twins who thought the other had died but on meeting decades later found their lives mirrored each others including names of wives and holidaying destinations down to the same beach, we then learnt about premonitions and the mysterious ‘UK premonition bureau’ closed down as too many unexplained things were happening after people rang in with premonitions, generally what they said would happen, various premonitions are cited and again with proof the calls were made, also a look at books where fiction storylines have then happened years later almost word for word in reality

Covid cropped up throughout with scarily accurate premonitions and things some would say were ‘conspiracy theories’ but again factually happened, interestingly he points to conspiracy theorists generally being correct in their ideas, usually proven right years later

How all the above linked together to prove God exists was at times a small link but I think I followed ( mostly ) what the author was saying

The parts ( albeit small ) on philosophy and its writers were generally lost on me but the ‘cloud’ of knowledge was interesting

Parts on the brain and how people emerge from comas speaking fluently different languages etc again was undisputed factually and fascinating

This is not at times an easy cosy read and took some concentration and effort to follow but was as keep saying based a lot in fact and not fancy and so for that deserved to be carried on with and not discarded

Am not sure if the author proved to unbelievers what he had set out to do but he wrote something I generally wouldn’t have read and therefore am grateful the cover caught my eye and I had a very different reading experience

Enjoyable? Kinda Stimulating? Definitely
