Publisher's Synopsis
Many books argue for or against the existence of God, but few authors address whether those arguments make any sense at all. This courageous book does just that. "Dear Adam: Discussions with a Budding Atheist" takes clear aim at the harshest arguments of contemporary atheists, dissecting their twisted logic and pseudo-scientific method to reveal how little they understand about logic, the nature of God, and the long history of vigorous debate on God's existence. In the process, author Jeffrey J. Hardy shakes up believers a bit as well and points out how their own inability to properly answer the criticisms of atheists is a big part of the problem. "Dear Adam" is easy to read and filled with interesting bits of history and science as well as little known facts about Isaac Newton, The Crusades, Charles Darwin, Constantine the great, and many more. He tackles the biggest taboos, including slavery, evolution, and the paradox of why evil exists in the world. Are you a believer? Then you will come away armed with new confidence, knowing that God comes out just fine on the battlefield of ideas in the realms of reason. Are you an atheist? Then hang on tight as what you believe is exposed raw and the reasoning behind your belief is questioned in the blinding light of a fierce intellectual discourse without fear. Either way, you will love this book!
