Description: Is He Out There? : Debating the God Delusion, Paperback by Laffan, Paul, ISBN 178976162X, ISBN-13 9781789761627, Brand New, Free shipping in the US An examination of Christian arguments against Richard Dawkins. Is He Out There? is an interdisciplinary examination of the Christian reaction to Richard Dawkinss The God Delusion. Th considers a wide range of Christian counter-argumentsthat Dawkinss demonstration that God almost certainly doesnt exist addresses an outdated conception of God; that science and religion do not conflict as Dawkins contends, but rather may converge on a shared understanding of how God acts in the universe; that Dawkins denigration of the Bible depends on an overly literal reading; and that Dawkins assumes a narrative of progress in which human beings take the place of God in controlling the course of historyand responds to these counter-arguments by drawing on current scientific understanding, biblical criticism, and philosophy. The author suggests the desire to meet the challenge posed by Dawkins has led Dawkinss opponents to pervert scientific theories and accepted positions in other important fields of inquiry while also considering the extent to which apparently secular moral values like tolerance and freedom of opinion are Christian in source and require God to underwrite them. Is He Out There? not only provides a review of the state of contemporary Christian apology, but also a measured address of Dawkinss arguments in The God Delusion and a substantive commentary on Dawkinss thesis.
