Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person’s Answer to Christian Fundamentalism by David Mills, Dorion Sagan
Requirements: PDF Reader | 2.2 MB
Overview: 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 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’ resurrection? Can creation science reconcile scripture with the latest scientific discoveries?
