Book Description:
Is there really a God? Or does God exist only in our heads? Is the Bible truly God s Word, or a jumble of fanciful myths? <P>THE WORLD'S BEST SELLING BOOK ON ATHEISM is your front row ticket to mankind s most enthralling debate. An atheist for thirty years, David Mills argues that God is unnecessary to explain the universe and life s diversity, organization and beauty. <P>This unique and captivating book rebuts every argument ever offered to 'prove' God s existence and the Bible s credibility arguments from logic, common sense, Christian apologetics, philosophy, ethics, history, and up to the minute science. <P>Among the intriguing questions addressed in this all inclusive volume: <P> What, precisely, is atheism, and why is it misunderstood so thoroughly? <P> If God is a myth, then did the universe appear from nothing? <P> Does the meticulous clockwork of planetary motion result from mindless random forces? <P> Do atheists believe that human beings evolved through blind accident from lifeless matter? <P> Do the splendor and intricacy of life on Earth reveal evidence of intelligent design by a supernatural Creator? <P> Can atheists prove that God does NOT exist? <P> What about Creation Science, and the popular new movement to reconcile Scripture and science? <P> Have recent scientific discoveries pointed to God s governance of the cosmos? <P> Did Albert Einstein believe in God? <P> Does the fact that energy cannot be destroyed lend credibility to a belief in eternal life? <P> Without God, can there be a valid system of ethics or an objective 'right' and 'wrong'? <P> Does religion encourage moral conduct and civilized behavior? Is the Golden Rule really such a bad idea? <P> What is the meaning of life without God? <P> When we die, are we simply dead like dogs? <P> Did atheists suffer a trauma in childhood that warped them into blasphemous rebellion? <P> Because of ubiquitous injustice on Earth, is an afterlife required to redress the imbalance, where evil is ultimately punished and virtue rewarded? <P> Is atheism just another crackpot religion? <P> What s the harm in a person s private spirituality? Does humanity have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, through belief in God (even if He s only imaginary)? <P> Apart from the Bible, is there secular historical evidence of Jesus miracles and resurrection? <P> How do atheists explain 'near death' experiences and medical miracles which amaze even skeptical doctors? <P> Why should a tiny minority of atheists be able to force their opinions on everyone else by banning prayer in public schools? <P> Since 'there are no atheists in foxholes,' have famous nonbelievers recanted on their deathbeds? <P> Did Old and New Testament prophecies correctly predict events which actually unfolded during our own lifetimes? <P> What about the Shroud of Turin and the discovery of wood fragments from Noah s Ark on Mount Ararat in Turkey? <P> Does the Law of Entropy (or the 'running down' of the universe) contradict evolutionary theory, which asserts that Nature s complexity is increasing? <P> Is there absolute proof that man evolved from a lower form of life? <P> Even if you believe that all life evolved from a single cell, how could complex cellular life originate without a Creator? <P> Is atheism a totally negative philosophy, leading only to cynicism and despair? <P> Does communism s past embrace of atheism prove that atheism is an evil and failed philosophy? <P> Was America really founded upon Christian principles by Christian believers? <P> What is the true, behind the scenes relationship between politics and religion in 21st century America? <P>All of these questions and hundreds of others are fully confronted and methodically answered in the riveting pages of Atheist Universe. It s all here for you in one richly entertaining, comprehensive, and easy to read volume. Few other books provide such spellbinding inquiry and arrive at such a controversial and well documented conclusion.
