Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism by Ulysses Press A Very Good Book
I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and concise. Why I would be willing to wager that even the most ardent believer could understand this book. I also enjoyed the highlighted quotes from famous nonbelievers. cheers, rmw
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism by Ulysses Press A Fun, Fun Book. Hard to put down.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A good read from a calm rational skeptic and atheist. The arguments against Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Biblical silliness were concise and even-handed. As I read more books concerning theological fallacies, as well as the Creationist/ID vs. Evolution debate, I appreciate the similar arguments the various atheists present. I like to consider myself well-informed, and repetition of ideas is a good way to do it. These arguments, which oppose the IDers, such as the complexity of the eye, the bacterial flagellum, and the usefulness of `half of a wing', become clearer to me after repeated exposure to varying perspectives. He adds his own thoughts, facts, and observations into the mix, keeping the topic fresh. Mr. Mills offers some concise and persuasive details pertaining to the geologic column of sedimentary rock and the fossil record. He gives a nice rebuttal of the Creationists argument concerning the Cambrian Explosion. He describes the physics of the universe and its origin in just 12 pages. This is too brief to offer a lot of depth, but is a swift overview of Stephen Hawkins' (and others) description of 'vacuum fluctuation.' After reading Victor Stengers' excellent physics-heavy book, "God: The Failed Hypothesis"(highly recommended), this quick recap made a lot of sense. Mr. Mills, in this brief (a bit too brief for me. I was so enjoying the read) 272 page book, tackles not inlythe Creationist/ID/young earth arguments, but offers his insights into Miracles, the myth of hell, even Internet Porn. Still, my favorite chapter was the Chapter One, titled, Interview with an Atheist. He comes across as very open, modest, and intellectually honest. The layout and editing was tight. Overall, this is a very satisfying read.
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism by Ulysses Press Kindle version, please.
That's it. Won't buy it until there's a Kindle version. I'm sure it deserves 5 stars, but I won't know until I read it. On my kindle.
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism by Ulysses Press A Very Convincing Case Against God
While I realize that many of the readers and reviews of Atheist Universe are either already Atheists, or Theists looking to open themselves up to the other side of the argument, I fell into the 'gray zone' somewhere in between Christian and Atheist. I was raised a Christian but ran into a crisis of faith in my late teens. It was my senior year in high school that I stumbled upon this book. Atheist Universe gave me that little push I needed to step out of the realm of agnosticism and no longer be afraid to call myself an Atheist. Though there are many great books on the subject, I think Mills is one step ahead of the competition. The arguments presented in the book are unique from many of the author mainstream Atheist authors (ie Dawkins, Harris), and the book itself is a surprisingly enjoyable read on what some might consider a dull subject.
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism by Ulysses Press It's ok
I mean the guy is obviously right but he makes some odd arguements. He puts alot of words in the mouths of creationists and then argues based on his assumptions of their points. There is something insightful here and there but all in all it's just ok.
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism by Ulysses Press Product Description
Clear, concise, and persuasive, Atheist Universe details exactly why God is unnecessary to explain the universe and life's diversity, organization, and beauty. The author thoroughly rebuts every argument that claims to "prove" God's existence — arguments based on logic, common sense, philosophy, ethics, history and science. Atheist Universe avoids the esoteric language and logic used by philosophers and presents its scientific evidence in simple lay terms, making it a richly entertaining and easy-to-read introduction to atheism. A comprehensive primer, it addresses all the historical and scientific questions, including: Is there proof that God does not exist? What evidence is there of Jesus's resurrection? Can creation science reconcile scripture with the latest scientific discoveries? Atheist Universe also answers ethical issues such as: What is the meaning of life without God? It's a spellbinding inquiry that ultimately arrives at a controversial and well-documented conclusion.
