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 in a God and then raises legitimate questions
regarding these reasons, showing in each case that there is much
room for doubt. Whether you're a believer, a complete skeptic, or
somewhere in between, you'll find this review of traditional and
more recent arguments for the existence of God refreshing,
approachable, and enlightening. From religion as the foundation of
morality to the authority of sacred books, the compelling religious
testimony of influential people, near-death experiences, arguments
from Intelligent Design, and much more, Harrison respectfully
describes each rationale for belief and then politely shows the
deficiencies that any good skeptic would point out. As a journalist
who has traveled widely and interviewed many highly accomplished
people, quite a number of whom are believers, the author
appreciates the variety of belief and the ways in which people seek
to make religion compatible with scientific thought. Nonetheless,
he shows that, despite the prevalence of belief in God or religious
belief in intelligent people, in the end there are no unassailable
reasons for believing in a God. For skeptics looking for appealing
ways to approach their believing friends or believers who are not
afraid to consider a skeptical challenge, this book makes for very
stimulating reading.
