The books are here! Stephen Meyer’s Return of the God Hypothesis is out at the end of this month, and I have the finished product in front of me. I got my copy yesterday, and it’s a beauty.

Here’s the latest praise from a distinguished scientist — Stuart Burgess, of Cambridge and Bristol universities — who says the book “performs a gigaton task of covering the origin of everything from molecular machinery to the entire universe.” A gigaton, in case you wondered, is a measure of explosive power, “how many billion tons of TNT would be needed to produce the same energy.” That’s a lot of energy to put between two covers.

You still have time to pre-order now and get the free perks that come with thinking ahead.
