In "Skeptical," author Bob Moores describes his
atheistic/humanistic philosophy and traces its roots back to early
childhood epiphanies where he first began to question certain
axiological teachings. He argues against creationism and religious
fundamentalism and defends scientific naturalism, critical
thinking, and a rational approach to understanding the world.
Moores attempts to show readers how recent scientific
discoveries, especially in biology, are more exciting and uplifting
than any form of biblical mythology. Using lay terms, he explains
the significance of DNA and why a scientific theory is more than
just a guess. He argues that modern humanistic values are superior
in many ways to those venerated in ancient texts, and he shares his
belief that humans are both the greatest threat and greatest hope
for the preservation of life on Earth.
Moores hopes that "Skeptical" will challenge readers to consider
views and information that may conflict with their comfort zones,
allowing them to broaden their perspectives. He argues that if we
are too protective of our own paradigms, if we stubbornly believe
that our way is the only way, then the tribes of earth will never
come together to solve the most urgent need of all our continued
existence.
