À propos de cet audio

Atheism is on the march in the western world, and its enemy is God.

Religion, the "New Atheists" claim, is "dangerous", "kills", or "poisons" everything. And if religion is the problem with the world, their answer is simple: Get rid of it. But are things really so straightforward?

Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks.

Erudite and wide-ranging, Gunning for God packs some debilitating punches. It also puts forward new ideas about the nature of God and Christianity that will give the New Atheists' best friends and worst enemies alike some stimulating food for thought.

I've read a bunch of material from the "new atheists" (Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens, ...) and often found their logic baffling - especially strange given their avowed credo to be science and reason driven. Lennox (emeritus professor of mathematics at Oxford) spends considerable time trying to piece together a coherent worldview from the new atheist writings (using Dawkins' God Delusion as primary source, but with much additional atheist material). With that worldview assembled (and I think fairly represented), he analyzes and refutes all the major points, even while agreeing with the atheists on some minor points (eg no child should be brainwashed into believing anything). It left me with a very compelling explanation for the lack of coherence in much new atheist writing - as Lennox puts it, that the new atheist credo is much closer to "blind faith" than it is evidence or logic driven. The reader has a nice voice, decently paced, but I found his pronunciations quite odd at times, and in technical areas had several outright mispronunciations which made me have to go back to recognize what he was trying to say. Overall a very good experience given the content.

Thorough Response to Richard Dawkins et al

A master mathematician effectively breaks down, with intellectual rigour, clarity, and humility, the assumptions and claims of the "new" atheists.

Brilliant and a must read!
