Science reinforces Biblical accuracy

Ancient Greeks Pythagoras (500BC) and Aristotle (400 BC) believed in a spherical planet many centuries before the flat-earth society finally had to concede that the earth is indeed round. Likewise, in our 21st century, the notion of God’s existence is rather unpopular in social media circles. Unfortunately, it appears that scientific evidence and a best-selling author of Greek heritage, Eric Metaxas, are beginning to shift the paradigm of today’s pop culture atheistic philosophy. In Eric’s latest book “Is Atheism Dead?”, he challenges the reader in a to grapple with evidence, and then decide for themselves: are the scientific facts making atheism illogical? The book made me realize that it is possible to whole-heartedly embrace both science and faith, because after all, even former atheists at the end of their days concluded that it had to be a Creator who initiated the Big Bang and intricately designed life and our complex amazing universe. If nothing else, you are sure to be entertained by Eric’s wit and thought-provoking ideas while listening to him narrate “Is Atheism Dead?”.

Great Book!

I recommend this book. I love how Eric discussed how incredible God’s creation is, and my heart grieved over the evil that man in his denial of God can do such atrocities. I will buy the hard copy as a great reference book. As always Eric is a master writer and it shows. Stan Brown

Appendices of some antediluvian monster... __;o)__

I don't know what to think of this phrase on page 166. Either Eric needs to fire his useless proofreader, or this is some sort of contest to see who notices first. If it's the latter, where do I claim my prize? __;o)___ Amazing book by the way!

Jaw dropping scientific facts and a fun listen

A compelling and extensive compilation of science that point to design. Fine tuning: for life to exist our planet needs to be just right - to a ridiculous degree! The Earth’s size, location in space, still make it seem impossible for life to exist. Metaxas has me hooked from the beginning. Plus, the author is smart and funny. I’ve ordered 3 hard copies to encourage friends in the science community. A must read / listen.

Eric Metaxas’ best work yet!

Not only his best work but one of the best books on Christian Apologetics I have ever read. I am going to immediately listen to it again!
Thanks, Eric! I have been a fan for a few years and I was blown away at how clear, concise, and utterly brutal it was with regard to the dying ideology that has infiltrated Western popular culture over the last 200 years. Great job!

A bulwark against antagonists

I have recommended many times over, to antagonistic agnostics and believers. Encouraging reminder in a hostile culture.

Best book I have ever read/heard

I am both a scientist, medical doctor, and a devout Christian. This book is the best I can ever recall. It is highly logical, backed by experts in the scientific field throughout the ages, and deeply thought provoking.

I recommend it to both believers in the God of the Bible and those who do not have any belief in religion. The presentation is honest and at times with humor but not malice towards any particular belief.

The only aspect that I feel warrants more research is the assumption that the earth dates back billions of years. It is not relevant to this book overall but would love to see him write a book after researching thoroughly this topic.

Enjoy.

I loved this book.

This book represents a three-part dismantlement of the "atheist" philosophy. I was already very interested in the scientific arguments for design but I learned more about Biblical archeology than I thought was even possible! I think the third part is my favorite though, Metaxas is skilled at condensing big thoughts into poetry. Would definitely recommend this book.

Every student needs to read this before college!

The pale flag of atheism which long seamed to triumphantly wave from the highest peaks of modern intellect has henceforth been reduced to a cocktail toothpick stuck in a crumbled sandcastle melted with the rising tide into the nothingness of God's ocean of truth.

Amazing!

There were so many facets of belief & unbelief explored with information that was new to me. It is worth a read by anyone whether your faith is in scientific materialism, Mohammed, or the God of the Bible.
