Greg Graffin is frontman, singer and songwriter for the punk band
Bad Religion. He also happens to have a Ph.D. in zoology and wrote
his dissertation on evolution, atheism and naturalism. Preston
Jones is a history professor at a Christian college and a fan of
Bad Religion's music. One day, on a whim, Preston sent Greg an
appreciative e-mail. That was the start of an extraordinary
correspondence. For several months, Preston and Greg sent e-mails
back and forth on big topics like God, religion, knowledge, evil,
evolution, biology, destiny and the nature of reality. Preston
believes in God; Greg sees insufficient evidence for God's
existence. Over the course of their friendly debate, they tackle
such cosmic questions as: Is religion rational or irrational? Does
morality require belief in God? Do people only believe in God
because they are genetically predisposed toward religion? How do
you make sense of suffering in the world? Is this universe all
there is? And what does it all matter? In this engaging book,
Preston and Greg's actual e-mail correspondence is reproduced,
along with bonus materials that provide additional background and
context. Each makes his case for why he thinks his worldview is
more compelling and explanatory. While they find some places to
agree, neither one convinces the other. They can't both be right.
So which worldview is more plausible? You decide.
