"I agree neither with all of the assumptions nor with all of the conclusions of this author. Nonetheless, as an example of a way to approach thinking about the intersection of science and religion, I think it is a very interesting read. Also, I found it highly entertaining. D'Souza follows a pattern of carefully walking the reader through an explanation of scientific reason (which atheist-scientists believe refutes the existence of God) and building up to a "gotcha" point in which he demonstrates the weakness in scientific thinking. His "gotcha's" generally get a laugh-out-loud reaction from me.
You have to take it for what it is. I wouldn't give this book to someone to persuade them to believe in God...but if a person already believes in God it can help them to better understand that they don't have to choose between being a scientific or religious thinker."
"The book could use one more revision for concision, but it really is a brilliant and substantive response to Dawkins and Hitchens. Hitchens himself said in one debate he had with D'Souza that D'Souza is one of the more formidable opponents he's ever faced. That's high praise, coming from Hitchens.
Several of the chapters are right on par with C.S. Lewis."
"This was gift from my brother and it really came at a good time in my life. Dinesh does a fantastic job of answering his book title question. As a glimpse of what yu can expect I share one of his opening quotes. "They have been flogging the carcass of 'fundamentalism' without having to encounter the horse kick of vigorous traditional Christianity". His writing is rhythmic and powerful. Enjoy!"
"Excellent book. Well-written and thoughtful, this book makes the case for how important Christianity is to western civilization, going to the extent to say that it is the basis of western civilization, and warns that if society moves away from Christianity then it is in danger of collapsing. Not only that, but the book takes on the atheist points of view on a variety of subjects, including science and morality, to show that the atheist viewpoint offers little to explain reality, which is the opposite of what atheism usually puts forth as its attraction."
