As the year draws to a close and the holiday season invites reflection, many Americans find themselves wrestling with profound questions about meaning, faith, and the future. Surveys show that fewer people now identify with organized religion than in previous generations—yet at the same time, curiosity about God, spirituality, and transcendence is quietly rising, especially among younger seekers searching for coherence in an anxious and uncertain world.
Into this moment comes God, The Science, The Evidence by Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies—an international publishing phenomenon with more than 400,000 copies sold worldwide.
Praised by The Sunday Times, Daily Mail, Church Times, Catholic Herald, Jewish News, and leading scientists and scholars, the book offers a sweeping, accessible, and rigorously documented case that modern science no longer undermines belief in God—but increasingly points toward it.
"The holidays are a time when people allow themselves to ask the biggest questions," says co-author Olivier Bonnassies. "Not just what do I believe? But what is reasonable to believe? Our book is for those who want faith that can stand confidently alongside reason."
Faith and Reason, Reconciled
For much of the 20th century, scientific progress was widely seen as incompatible with belief in God. God, The Science, The Evidence argues that this narrative is now obsolete. Drawing on discoveries ranging from the Big Bang and the fine-tuning of the universe to the staggering complexity of DNA, Bolloré and Bonnassies demonstrate that the materialist worldview increasingly looks less like settled science—and more like an article of belief itself.
The book distills insights from 63 Nobel Prize winners and hundreds of leading scientists, alongside philosophers and historians, to present what the authors call a "180-degree panorama" of the evidence—scientific, philosophical, moral, and historical—bearing on the question of God's existence.
"Many people live with an unresolved tension between what they were taught about science and what they feel drawn to spiritually," says co-author Michel-Yves Bolloré. "That tension creates anxiety. One of the great reliefs readers report is discovering that this conflict is not inevitable—and may no longer be justified."
A Message for an Anxious Age
Arriving at the intersection of year-end reflection, the Christmas season, and the transition from 2025 to 2026, God, The Science, The Evidence speaks directly to a culture marked by uncertainty—about the future, about truth, and about what ultimately matters.
Rather than asking readers to abandon skepticism, the book invites them to apply it more consistently.
"Hope is not wishful thinking," Bonnassies notes. "It is something we arrive at when the evidence points beyond despair. When faith and reason are aligned, belief becomes not an escape from reality—but a deeper engagement with it."
A Thoughtful Holiday Gift
Written for general readers and structured so chapters can be read independently, God, The Science, The Evidence has found wide readership among believers seeking firmer intellectual ground, skeptics open to following the evidence wherever it leads, and anyone looking, during the holidays, for hope, meaning, and reassurance rooted in reason rather than sentimentality.
As The Sunday Times observed: "Science… has come full circle and forcefully put the question of the existence of a creator God back on the table."
