About the Book
Can the existence of God by proven by science? The answer will still surprise you. Since the advent of science in the 16th century it has navigated mankind in the direction of mechanistic materialism and as a consequence to atheism. Since the beginning of the 20th century this direction has changed. Relativity and quantum physics in conjunction with Big Bang cosmology laid the foundation for a revolution in physics in what became labelled as the “New Physics”. Subsequently during the 1970’s it was discovered that the universe at every level and from its first billionth of a second at the time of its creation was mysteriously fine-tuned. This fine-tuning comprises the inexplicable and delicate balance of the four fundamental forces that rule the universe: gravity electromagnetism and the strong and the weak nuclear forces. This discovery implies that even the most basic building blocks of matter such as atoms and its sub-atomic particles can only exist by the grace of an inexplicable complex and delicate balance between these forces. The chance that this fine-tuning could have emerged spontaneously and fortuitously is not only improbable but utterly impossible. Intelligence or Chaos elucidates that the complexity and fine-tuning of the universe can only be explained by the presence of an all-pervasive intelligence the source and reservoir of the Information that actually guides and controls the universe. For the first time in history such a conclusion is confirmed by indubitable scientific evidence. The existence of an all-pervading intelligence as expressed in the principle of fine-tuning is also at the core of the ancient Vedanta philosophy of India. The author explores how Vedanta disentangles some of the paradoxes encountered in quantum physics and major cosmological questions such as the Big Bang and its origin. Using the latest empirical and scientific evidence Intelligence or Chaos clearly shows that the universe is ruled by intelligence and information and not by chance and chaos. CHAPTER 1 The mystery of existence- CHAPTER 2 Intelligence or chaos the teleological argument- CHAPTER 3 Materialism-matter is the only reality- CHAPTER 4 Darwin’s theory of evolution- CHAPTER 5 The defects of materialism- CHAPTER 6 The origin of existence has to be ‘simple’- CHAPTER 7 The imperfect universe- CHAPTER 8 Why is there something rather than nothing?- CHAPTER 9 Why does reality exist in this particular manner?- CHAPTER 10 The ultimate complexity – consciousness- CHAPTER 11 God and reason- CHAPTER 12 The paradox; the foundation of reality- CHAPTER 13 The Nature of God- CHAPTER 14 Our destination: Vaikuntha. richly illustrated 460 pages well written and provides lucid explanations to complex subject matters.
Review
Intelligence or Chaos is a direct attack on atheism based on new scientific facts and insights in the field of physics and cosmology that are revolutionary. These new facts have emerged over the last 30 years and have demonstrated that the universe is driven by information and intelligence and not by randomness and chaos. In particular the fine-tuning of the cosmological constants in the universe such as gravity electromagnetism and the nuclear forces have mystified scientists and philosophers and have derailed materialism as the only logical explanation for the existence of our universe with its inconceivable levels of organized complexity. The author Mr. H.J. Keilman has spent decades studying these developments and put them into a logical and historical perspective explaining both the rise and inevitable decline of materialism and atheism. Never before in history did scientists and philosophers have such a rich arsenal of powerful arguments at their disposal to refute the atheist and materialist worldview. In a way that is intellectually satisfying for even some of the most sceptical among us.

Professor of Hinduism at Rutgers University NJ teaching Science and Religion. I wanted to commend you as a non-professional scientist for your grasp of the scientific data and the utterly outstanding case you carefully and methodically put together. the end result is a master-piece in my opinion. Well done. Prof Edwin Bryant --Prof Edwin Bryant

About the Author
Henk Keilman was born in the Netherlands on Oct 7 1953. From the age of 15 he had a strong philosophical inclination and interest in the existential questions of life. He spent many years studying western philosophy the philosophy of science and Indian philosophy. Travelling several times to India he became intrigued by the Vedanta philosophy and its comprehensive explanation about the mystery of existence and the complex nature of the universe. He found the Vedantic explanation of the theodicy or the problem of evil brilliant and utterly convincing. The marriage of science and philosophy with mysticism and spirituality was an eye opener. In a world increasingly dominated by nihilism skepticism and the belief that truth is either unreachable or incomprehensible Henk is convinced that the need for a new paradigm is well overdue.
