Richard Dawkins claims that God is a delusion and that religious faith is evil.
But in recent decades scientists have made a series of remarkable discoveries which show that the universe is a very unlikely place. It bears all the marks of being deliberately designed as a place for us to live.
This is genuinely new evidence that points to the reality of the Creator. So the physicist professor Paul Davies says ‘The impression of design is overwhelming.’
Responding to this opportunity, Focus is producing a series of short videos called ‘God: new evidence.‘ They explore how these recent scientific discoveries point towards God’s reality. We have a really excellent line-up of contributors, including John Polkinghorne (former professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge University) and David Wilkinson (principal of St. John’s College in the University of Durham).
We will be distributing these programmes on DVD and online through Youtube.
My personal vision is that a million people will watch the ‘God: new evidence’ videos over the next ten years.
Can you help us to reach a million people? We need to raise a total of $50,000 (£30,000) to produce and publish these programmes. (About $29,000 / £18,000 of this has already been given.)
Our next milestone is to raise $4000 (£2500) to purchase a DVD duplicator. Can you help? You can give online here (US $) or here (UK £).
Richard Dawkins says ‘The question of whether there exists a supernatural creator, a God, is one of the most important questions that we have to answer.’ He is absolutely right. Will you help us to make a public response to this question, and to reach a million people?
Focus has a long history of successfully harnessing the powers of technology to bring significant issues to the attention of audiences who may otherwise not have engaged with them. This project brings together some excellent contributors to address one of the defining questions facing our society in a clear and relevant way. I am glad to commend it to you.

This excellent video resource will help people to realise just how incredibly finely balanced the universe is. The contributors are experts in their fields and are great at communicating big ideas in very accessible ways. This is going to be extremely useful. (Tony Watkins, Damaris)
Once again Focus is producing what promises to be an excellent resource to give Christians confidence in their faith and tools to engage effectively in mission and evangelism (Dr. Krish Kandiah, Director of Churches in Mission at the Evangelical Alliance.)
