      Is there a God? This is perhaps the most debated question in human history. Academics, scientists, and philosophers have dedicated their entire lives to proving the existence or non-existence of God, often at the cost of being criticized by their peers. The entire discussion focuses on style and ambiguous language. So, is it possible to provide a definitive answer to this question using a universal and unambiguous, that is, mathematical language? This is what Dr. Stephen Unwin attempts to do in his engaging, comprehensible, and witty book! This groundbreaking book demonstrates how a mathematical equation developed by the European philosopher Thomas Bayes two centuries ago can be used to calculate the probability of God's existence. Dr. Unwin presents his mathematical proof in a clear and engaging style that can be easily understood even by non-mathematicians. He carefully guides the reader through all the stages of this calculation, ultimately achieving a mathematical value. Whether you are a believer or approach all divine matters with skepticism, you will find this provocative book enlightening and captivating.
