The award-winning author of The Battle of Bretton Woods reveals the gripping history behind the Marshall Plan-told with verve, insight, and resonance for today. Vance is one of my favorite narrators and is a multi-award-winning narrator. Simon Vance does an excellent job narrating the story even though he could do better, in my opinion, with the pronunciation of French words. The book is eleven hours and fifty-two minutes. He is best known for his worldwide best sellers such as Scaramouche, Captain Blood and Sea Hawk to name a few. Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-English writer.

So what I am really interested in is in knowing mostly whether or not the Thomistic or existential proof of Aquinas would still suffice to ground God even in such a scenario.

Would any of the proofs for the existence of God work in such a universe where the laws of nature do indeed describe the creation of matter out of nothing without God, as well as it's conservation? It would also be able to explain the constant conservation of matter without appealing to God for it. Such a model of the universe would explain the appearence of new matter out of nothing by stating a new law of physics that removes the laws of thermodynamics from acting on a global scale, and would thus explain how something could come from nothing without appealing to God as an explanation.

White was born in Bombay in 1906, where his father, Garrick, was a superintendent in the colonial police force.
