Fifty Problems for Atheists
Atheists tend to be known for what they are against, but their own position is less examined. This book brings out the main Atheist hopes, past and present, and suggests their weaknesses in relation to contemporary science. It looks at the failures of Nature as basic belief, and sets the Christian history in key scientific revolutions against the idea of “secular” science.
