Logical at to the point.

A great book to read through for a logical look at the questions about God and His existence.
At this time with so much happening in the world it’s more than relevant, it’s essential!

Plain, straightforward, understandable.

This is a straight comparison, scientific alignment between Evolutionism and Creationism. Whilst there’s some discussion about Thermodynamics which, quite frankly, went quickly marching over my head, there were very, many more verbal examples which were compelling!

To be fair, it seems to me that it takes a lot more concerted faith to become an Atheist rather than a Christian. He’s approaching it as a Theist, but there is significant research of and reference to, famous Atheists, which he quoted from ,,to substantiate the ‘argument’ one way or another.

I liked the use of visual imagery to absolutely bring a point home. It is very affective (the car and the can of coke was the best for me). Take notes with an ample sized note book - as there is So Much within this little tome

It takes itself seriously, but is lighthearted in doing so. I saw a potential Avenue to discuss in with friends and work colleagues, whilst avoiding the name calling!

This was read really well by Jim Denison. I’m sure that he gets Ray’s personality over, admirably - he comes across as a socially inclusive person. This will be revisited many times as, there are very many nuggets to digest. A straightforward and understandable account which, I think is hard to dispute.

A book of straw man’s

This book is full of such strawman arguments about atheists and evolutionary biologists position. Almost every argument comfort makes was rebuked by Dawkins in the god delusion. Dawkins mentioned each theist claim comfort makes almost word for word before rebuking them so much so that half way through the book I started to think god delusion was a direct response to this book but was shocked when comfort referenced it later on. I had to look up the release date and found out this was published a year after Dawkins. Did comfort read god delusion take out all the theist arguments Dawkins addresses and turn it into a book? Seems that way. Overall it got better as it progressed but that first chapter had me wanting to bang my head against the table. Comfort makes stupid claims such as “Atheists think we evolved from monkeys” “bananas are a sign god exists” and a ridiculous analogy about finding a coke can on the moon which actually proves the opposite of what comfort is claiming. It would be insane to think that coke can appeared magically through supernatural forces which is what he thinks happened with humans. The airplane analogy is also a strawman as it relies on the assumption we know we are going to hell in order for it to work.

Absolute drivel

From start to finish, this book is brimming with pseudoscience, misinformation and outright lies. Comfort ceases to amaze me, with his utterly ridiculous arguments and uncouth tone.
Whilst the content of this book is very much laughable, listening is somewhat concerning.

Usual Theist Nonsense

Summary:
I don't understand science - therefore god exists
I don't understand evolution - therefore god must have done it
I don't understand cosmology - therefore god created everything

A perfect example of the Dunning Kruger effect and the argument from personal incredulity.
