Title:

Ratio et Numen: Plausibility of God

Author:

Jesús Fernández-Pedrera

Does the universe point toward a Creator, or is our existence a mere cosmic accident?

In Ratio et Numen, Jesús Fernández-Pedrera embarks on a rigorous philosophical and scientific journey to demonstrate that the existence of a personal, transcendent Creator is not just a matter of faith, but the only plausible conclusion for a rational mind.

Drawing on the classic principle of Fides et Ratio (Faith and Reason), this work constructs a formidable ""cumulative case"" for theism. By analyzing the latest findings in contemporary science-from the breathtaking ""fine-tuning"" of universal constants to the ""Rare Earth"" hypothesis-the author challenges the prevailing narratives of atheistic naturalism.

Inside this treatise, you will explore:

The Cosmological Arguments:

Why the contingency of the universe and the beginning of time necessitate a First Cause. The Fine-Tuning of the Cosmos:

An objective study of the physical parameters that place our universe on a ""knife-edge"" suitable for life. A Critique of Modern ""Myths""

A scientific deconstruction of the Multiverse, Abiogenesis, and Panspermia as speculative alternatives to Intelligent Design. The Rare Earth Hypothesis:

Why ""The Great Silence"" of the Fermi Paradox suggests that our privileged planet is a profound statistical anomaly.

Moving beyond ""blind leaps,"" Ratio et Numen offers an illuminated path for those seeking to harmonize logical understanding with spiritual inspiration. It is an essential read for anyone asking the ultimate question: Why is there something rather than nothing?.

Nací en 1959, en la bonita ciudad mediterránea de Barcelona (España). De familia de gran cultura y tradición literaria, mi contacto con las letras comenzó al nacer. Mi abuela, María Oliva Morales, fué finalista del prestigioso Premio Nadal y publicó numerosa prosa y poesía. Mi padre, Jesús, fue profesor de literatura. Yo, por mi parte he sido siempre un lector voraz y apasionado. En 1991 me licencié en Derecho, me colegié en el Colegio de Abogados de Barcelona y ejercí como Abogado hasta 2015. Estudié filosofía. Master en Filosofía Práctica. También estudié filología e historia por mi cuenta y riesgo, así como algo de latín, griego koiné y hebreo clásico. Mis intereses académicos están en estos campos de las humanidades y, pienso, que cualquier investigación en esta materia se puede beneficiar de la multidisciplinariedad. Sin renunciar a la especialización necesaria, el saber renacentista universal puede dar un marco, un contexto enriquecedor para cualquier proyecto. La filosofía de la religión, la ética, la antropología, la fenomenología, la hermenéutica, la epistemología, la argumentación, la historia, el derecho..., me resultan fascinantes Pero sobre todo, la figura de Jesús, tan rica en matices, con un mensaje tan sublime, constituye mi interés principal.
