Publisher's Summary:
Does the Atom Have a Designer? is a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind analysis that critically examines if the atom is simply the result of chance events following the Big Bang. The atom, with its proton-neutron-electron structure, its quantized properties, and its many internal interactions, realizes the structural, electromagnetic, nuclear, chemical and biological functioning of the universe.
This book, written by a secular researcher searching for answers, examines quantum behaviors such as wave-particle duality, quantum superposition, quark-gluon interactions within the atomic nucleus, and electron-photon interactions within atomic orbitals, and their role in realizing the many functionalities of the atom.
Aristotle's four causes are used to investigate the why questions to explore the causality of the atom. The answer to the question: "Does your kitchen table have a designer?" does not require a scientific or a mathematical explanation; it requires a Logical one. Aristotle's theory of causality was developed to show that four related causes (or explanations) are needed to explain change in the world: a material, a formal, an efficient, and a final cause. A complete explanation of any material change will use all four causes. The why questions related to the atom are investigated in great depth using this approach toward causality. The commonly cited objection: "Then who designed the designer?" is also addressed in the book.
And, yes, your kitchen table does have a designer.

A Little Book That Stirs Big Thoughts.
We usually look upon our world as a normally ordered place where everything works as it is expected to - flowers bloom, babies are born, airplanes fly, etc. We take it all for granted without much thought or examination. After reading Dr. Goenka's book, "Does The Atom Have A Designer?", in which he describes the marvelous Atom with its interacting particles, I can not help but look upon my world, and indeed my very existence, with renewed wonder and mystery. This is a little book that can stir big thoughts.
The complexities of the Atom, "the building block of matter" - of material existence - and what it accomplishes, raises greater questions of "why," and "how," the Atom functions at all. Could something so perfect and intricate, Dr. Goenka asks, come into existence by chance, or by Design?
Dr. Goenka can not answer the mystery of the Atom for us, nor does he attempt to, but by examining the functionality of the Atom with its constituent subatomic particles we are led to ponder deeper questions.
The physicist can take us to the outer edges of the matter world, to the very exotically named particles such as quarks and leptons and gluons that comprise it. But further they are unable to go as scientists. Here, rather, the baton of inquiry is handed off to us. After all, it is only we who can give meaning to our existence - or not.

Thought Provoking Look at the Atomic Sructure.
There is a lot of argument about whether the biological world has a design indicating intelligence behind that design. Does the Atom have a Design? asks if the basic building blocks of the inanimate universe, the atom, has a design. Although as a physicist I knew the parts of an atom, I had never thought about how amazing it was that the components which one would think are incompatible form a very stable entity we call an atom. I think Dr.
