Many popular atheists are very confident in what they assert to be true. However, not everything they say actually makes sense. This book sheds light on 36 statements made by atheists of the present and the past – Sam Harris, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, Alex Rosenberg, Richard Dawkins, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Bertrand Russell – to name a few. While deconstructing their statements in light of evidence and reason, the case for theism grows. It’s further supported by the stories of former atheists who changed their minds.
There is a new breed of atheist in town. They’re intelligent, vocal, and sometimes very aggressive. They communicate with boldness and conviction, but are they correct? Many of them are well-known and highly regarded, but does everything they say really make sense? Is their case for atheism sound? This book addresses thirty-six of the most common things atheists say when they challenge people of faith. After examining what prominent atheists passionately proclaim, in light of evidence and reason, it seems the case for God’s existence emerges stronger than ever.
