Go for the big one: the existence of God. Sir John Houghton is a physicist who believes that the deity is alive and well, and looking for you, as he explains amid a forest of wild typography in The Search for God: Can Science Help? (Lion, Oxford, £6.99, ISBN 0 7459 3305 X). Boxes, italics, irritating lines round page numbers – the designer’s palette has been left on the page. Perhaps it’s the affection that physical scientists have for galaxy-spanning questions that leaves them fearless in the face of God. Notably few biologists have joined the search. His publishers describe the book’s “sophistication level” as intelligent/popular, so perhaps it’s for you.
