The Invented Universe

How Science Explains the Supernatural

What if the answers science gives about the origin of life and the cosmos raise deeper questions than they resolve?

Welcome to the official website for The Invented Universe, a thought-provoking exploration of the boundaries between scientific explanation and metaphysical reality. Written for the curious reader—whether skeptical or spiritually inclined—this book examines what science truly tells us about the origin of the universe, the nature of life, and the structure of reality. Are the answers we’ve been given complete, or are they built on unprovable assumptions and speculative leaps? Through clear analysis and engaging prose, The Invented Universe equips readers to ask sharper questions and consider broader possibilities.
