43) The New Atheists
Author
Description
The new atheists criticize Christianity with assumptions drawn from the Western intellectual tradition. They seem unwilling to concede to this fact. They seem unwilling to concede to this fact. They argue that they place their trust in science, but they seem unaware that science, like philosophy, is dependent upon epistemology. The theory of knowledge provides no theoretical certainty. In a word, their atheism is indemonstrable.
Moreover, the new...

Uncertainty is the essence of the human condition, and nothing is more uncertain than God. Yet passions run hot when it comes to God, both among believers and non-believers.
God is a Question, Not an Answer aims to unsettle readers on both sides of the issue. William Irwin argues that because belief occurs along a continuum of doubt and we can never reach full certainty, believers and non-believers can find common ground in uncertainty. Beginning...

Whether people praise, worship, criticize, or reject God, they all presuppose at least a rough notion of what it means to talk about God. Turning the certainty of this assumption on its head, a respected educator and humanist shows that when we talk about God, we are in fact talking about nothing at all--there is literally no such idea--and so all of the arguments we hear from atheists, true believers, and agnostics are and will always be empty and...

Description
Throughout history, arguments for and against the existence of God have been largely confined to philosophy and theology, while science has sat on the sidelines. Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life and greatly clarified our understanding of the world, somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being, which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality....

For readers interested in political theory and political activism, as well as anyone puzzled by the persistence of theistic conviction in the modern world, this critique of religious belief provides insightful analysis.
In light of rational standards for belief acceptance that are universally acknowledged in enlightened circles, theistic convictions are deeply problematic. Thus, it is not surprising that some of the most important heirs of the Enlightenment...

We are in the midst of a culture war between science and religion. In this struggle, science portrays itself as the white knight of enlightenment truth defending humanity against the dark forces of religious fundamentalism, ignorance and gullibility that threaten free thinking and progress. But, is there really the fundamental difference between science and religion that the culture warriors like us to believe? This book takes the reader on an inside...

A number of authors have noted that if some physical parameters were slightly changed, the universe could no longer support life, as we know it. This implies that life depends sensitively on the physics of our universe. Does this "fine-tuning" of the universe suggest that a creator God intentionally calibrated the initial conditions of the universe such that life on earth and the evolution of humanity would eventually emerge? In his in-depth and highly...

I don't think anything like the Jewish-Christian-Muslim God exists, but I hope I am wrong. Wouldn't it be a plus for reality if there were a very powerful being who weaves purpose and order into the universe, cares about us, and might make better our long range future? Maybe heaven, after all? Such a God may or may not be supported by adequate evidence, but, however that may be, it is reasonable to hope, not just wish, that God exists.

Many books that challenge religious belief from a skeptical point of view take a combative tone that is almost guaranteed to alienate believers or they present complex philosophical or scientific arguments that fail to reach the average reader. This is undoubtably an ineffective way of encouraging people to develop critical thinking about religion. This unique approach to skepticism presents fifty commonly heard reasons people often give for believing...
