Story
Seth Andrews idolized Rush Limbaugh. He listened to Glenn Beck. He read Ann Coulter. He watched Fox News. He was an evangelical Christian once tethered to right-wing media, which constantly warned of an attack on American values by liberals and secular humanists. Today, Seth is a liberal and secular humanist. This audiobook explores the Fox News culture, which both reflects and informs American conservatism, shaping public opinion on important issues like religion, government, race, foreign policy, war, protest, LGBT rights, and the Constitution.

The assumption that Jesus existed as a historical person has occasionally been questioned in the course of the last hundred years or so, but any doubts that have been raised have usually been put to rest in favor of imagining a blend of the historical, the mythical, and the theological in the surviving records of Jesus. Historian and philosopher Richard Carrier reexamines the whole question and finds compelling reasons to suspect the more daring assumption is correct.

Story
For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith - and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, this audiobook offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith - but for talking them out of it.

The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design," explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument". Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics.

For all the thousands of books that have been written about religion, few until this one have attempted to examine it scientifically: to ask why - and how - it has shaped so many lives so strongly. Is religion a product of blind evolutionary instinct or rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Ranging through biology, history, and psychology, Daniel C. Dennett charts religion’s evolution from “wild” folk belief to “domesticated” dogma.

Story
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

A Book for Specialists

Publisher's Summary
Religious fundamentalists and biblical literalists present any number of arguments that attempt to disprove evolution. Those with a sympathetic ear often fail to critically examine these creationist claims, leading to an ill-informed public and, perhaps more troubling, ill-advised public policy. As Aron Ra makes clear, however, every single argument deployed by creationists in their attacks on evolution is founded on fundamental scientific, religious, and historical falsehoods - all of them. Among their most popular claims is that evolution is a religion, that there are no transitional species, that there are no beneficial mutations, and that supposedly sacred scripture is the infallible word of God. Yet, as the evidence and data plainly show, each of these claims is demonstrably and unequivocally false. There is simply no truth to creationism whatsoever, and the entire enterprise rests on a foundation of falsehoods. This book explains and exposes the worst of these lies, and should be listened to by all who honestly care about following the evidence no matter where it might lead in pursuit of the truth.

A fantastic listen!
Many audio books struggle to give the mental layout provided by a visible text, which can mean listening to the audio book 3 or 4 times to organize the information in an everyday situation or in order to reference the material again at a later date. This book does not suffer from this disconnect at all. The information is arranged in a way that can make quick references for friends or those pesky "soul winners" possible and efficient. The material evolves logically in tandem with not only personal understanding, but also the chronology of human knowledge and how it came to be. On a personal level, I too was raised in a religious home. Intelligent Design was our gospel (often at the expense of the bible itself) and every thinker or scientist in history was part of a massive conspiracy that involved bad angels that resembled alien stories, rogue dinosaurs, Nazis and supernatural zapping of good guy angels or true believers. the earth was flat (or a disc) and the flood was recited as a foundational pillar of faith. Oddly enough, it was the bible and the psychologically abusive tracts that led to my deconversion but texts such as these have both confirmed my childhood doubts and have given me new perspectives (other than the political or humanities disciplines arguments) that I have been using in the past. I highly recommend this book!

Full of fire and brimstone
This book is basically a rant. A very good rant, but a rant nevertheless. I was browsing Audible when I spotted it. I’m interested in the subject of debunking creationism, but I feel I’ve already read the definitive work that has achieved this aim, ‘The Greatest Show on Earth – the Evidence for Evolution’ by Richard Dawkins’ (which I recommend very highly).
So I didn’t really need to have explained to me again why creationism isn’t true. I’ve never believed in the literal truth of creationism. It’s a really silly, outdated idea and it isn’t worth wasting time trying to talk religious fanatics out of a belief that they are determined to hang onto in the face of overwhelming opposing evidence. But I thought I’d listen in any case, as the subject is usually quite entertaining – and it was.
The difference between me and the author-narrator of this audiobook is that I live in a place where no one seems to be a creationist, or if they are, they keep it to themselves and don’t bother me with it. Whereas the author of this book, Aron Ra, lives in a World where creationism is alive and well and is very powerful, trying to make sure that this false belief system can continue to be indoctrinated into young minds in schools even in the 21st century.
That’s why it is a rant. Our narrator chooses 15 classic creationist arguments against evolution, and he just rips into them. He does it in a scholarly way, using clear rational explanations with a deep knowledge of the subject matter involved, ranging from scripture to evolutionary biology, but he tells his story with passion and fire. Once he gets into his stride he sounds like a preacher, and the irony of this brought a smile to my face more than once.
He doesn’t pull any punches. He doesn’t restrict himself to just discrediting creationism as an idea, he is also fairly direct in his criticism of individual creationists as people. Not the ordinary folk in the street, but the major players who are leading the crusade against evolution, exerting political power in cynical ways to ensure that evolution remains misunderstood and discredited.
I can see why Aron felt the need to write this book, which I enjoyed and recommend. Good luck to you Aron and thanks for the entertaining listen.

Hilarious, yet informed. Ra, Ra, Ra!!
Pretty sure I'd be a rocket surgeon now if my teachers in school could teach science as interesting as Ra writes. I have a 2 hour commute--one way--daily and devour Audio books. Hands down, the best book I've digested to date! Witty, in depth, yet palpable to us mere humans. And, as one who studied his way out of his religion at 28 (sinner!!!), a great one-stop resource when my well-intentioned family or friends start with the BS. Thanks for a great "read!" Highly recommend! Ps. Xstians, be forewarned. Unless you wear the thickest of blinders, steer clear of this book! You may actually have to stare truth down and decide if you are really honest or not. That's a tough decision! Yet, I'm glad I made it! Enjoy! Ra, Ra, Ra!

This won't help with your relatives.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Maybe. It depends on the friend. I have some creationist friends. I wouldn’t waste either of our times. They’ll be offended, I’ll lose a friend.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism?
"Of Course what I found instead were only the insane ravings of superstitious primitives apparently trying to justify their own inhuman atrocities.”
I spent a substantial portion of my life feeling that the Bible presented a horrific picture of humanity, ascribing it to God seemed the strongest possible condemnation of the deity one could imagine.
Have you listened to any of Aron Ra’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
See above.
Any additional comments?
If you are an agnostic atheist, then you need to keep in mind that the degree of animus felt here is directed at the bad faith exhibited by many creationists. I don’t believe that Aron Ra wishes them ill, but I empathize with the sense of outrage at the willingness to distort, dissemble and denigrate. This is a superb collection of logical fallacies, rhetorical devices and distortions that creationist use against science and reality.
If you are looking for a path to reconciliation between the opposing views, turn back now. I believe Aron Ra as been subject to too much intellectual and probably emotional abuse at this point to offer his opponents much emotional quarter.
I’d still recommend listening to and reading this book. You are not alone, and you are not insane, evil or possessed.

the only way to ignore this much evidence is: god
Fantastic book, thank you Aron. I was delighted that you choose to narrate it as I don't think anyone else could have done your material justice.
the problem for science is that there is so much evidence! our knowledge of the natural world has taken tens of thousands of scientists and hundreds, if not thousands, of years to get this far. no human can hope to absorb the millions of pieces of individual evidence that support evolution. whereas any one can read through the totality of creationist arguements in a weekend!
Aron has done an excellent job of choosing the best, most straightforward facts that show evolution is a no-brainer. he has linked them together and belt-fed them into a Gatling gun of pure, hard hitting reason. fact after fact of logic and sense strafes creationist nonsense with a withering hail of "If you can't show it, you DON'T KNOW IT!"
For a person like me, raised as a young earth creationist and Christian literalist 30 years of indoctrination we hard to shake off and it was a journey that took several years and many authors of the calibre of Aron Ra to help me truly shake off the shackles of false belief. thank you.

A very informative read. Highly recommended
This is an excellent read. It is not an insulting diatribe against all religion. It is simply a counter argument against some of the more anti science beliefs of the more extreme creationist groups.
It is written seriously and intelligently but also reasonably and kindly. There are no attempts to insult the mainstream religious but simply to inform the listener as engagingly as possible by an author and narrator who are invested in their subject. Even if you are extremely religious I recommend listening to it. It may surprise you.

Wonderful.
Aron Ra disassembles the creation belief with science in such a way that helps you understand how inacurate the bible really is. Conversational with a touch of humor, this book is a must read/ listen for anyone that is doubting thier faith or just wants to learn what the falsehoods of creation are.

Excellent
I don't understand how religion continues to exist with books like this around.
Aron Ra makes an avalanche of extremely good points in this book, and it's all done in his, lovely, very personable, and down to earth style.
If you listen, and I mean really listen to this book, you won't be a Christian anymore. Aron Ra bowls a 300 game here.

A fine audio book by an underrated Youtuber
To anyone who's gazed up in awe at the imposing skeletons of titans long gone extinct at the museum and then fallen asleep in church, this one's for you, for anyone who's subscribed to Aron Ra's YouTube channel and enjoy his "greatest hits" this one's for you, and to anyone who's unconvinced by the biblical literalism or who like dry academic writing from time to time, this book has surprisingly well adapted to suit... almost as if it's evolved that way 🤔 this one's definitely for you too.

A Blast Against Creationism.
Dismantles arguments of religious fundamentalists against evolution from a common ancestor. Bible literalists have taken their interpretation of Genesis to absurd levels and have no understanding of earlier myths that gave rise to this folk tale. Aron Ra explains the falsehoods of creationism clearly and thoroughly, providing ammunition for those who would like to arm themselves against zealots.

Life changing
Mind blowing and life altering. My perspective has been completely changed. Only listen to this book if you're truly willing to confront your beliefs and ask yourself the hard questions
