For centuries, science and religion have been at war. The origin of species v the miracle of creation; Galileo v heaven and earth; physics v theology. Recently, however, something of a truce has been declared. Some scientists have begun applying the laws of physics to the existence of God. Science has fundamental rules, rules which imply a design to the universe. A design presupposes a designer: God? Books like The God Particle and God And The New Physics have been selling in their hundreds of thousands. Does this new-found entente herald the ultimate answer to the Big Question? Has science reached a natural limit of understanding? Or is it just a cynical device to sell arcane theories to a spiritually-hungry public?
