Description
This book is easy-to-read. Everyday terms are used & the reasoning is of the common sense variety. The book is chiefly concerned with scientific facts & how they support or refute religious ideas. Some of the concepts examined include the following: Is there such a thing as a devil or an angel? Why are there so many different religions? How valid is the story of Noah's Ark & the biblical flood? Is evolution a reasonable concept?, etc. I recommend this book for anyone who may question some of the basic premises of their religion. The matter-of-fact approach in the book should cause readers to think about their own religious concepts & the validity of these ideas. The book should generate some discussion on topics that are all too often ignored. The book questions so many things that are often assumed to be true. All of us need to examine the validity of ideas we have readily accepted as factual. The book provides a method for doing so.
