Ideas matter. And it’s important to “reality test” worldviews because too much is at stake. How does Naturalism fare?
Scientific naturalism is the view that the physical universe is all there is, was, and ever will be. Only material stuff exists, and science is the only source of reliable knowledge concerning the world; everything else is mere conjecture.
What Tools Are Available In The Naturalist’s Tool Box?
Physics, chemistry, biology, and genetics are the naturalistâs only explanatory tools. One obvious implication of this worldview (more…)
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.

âFinally, a book about the âNew Atheismâ that is not only hard-hitting, but also accessible and engaging for the average reader. Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow have assembled some of the finest thinkers in the Christian world and have turned them loose to provide clear and articulate answers to the questions âbackyard skepticsâ in our lives ask. You get only a few pages into this book before you see the shallowness and blindness of the popular New Atheism and, by stark contrast, the rationality of belief in the God of the Bible. This is a book to buy for all of your skeptical coworkers, neighbors, or family members. Then challenge them to meet with you weekly as you work through the chapters. They (and you) will never be the same.âCraig J. Hazen

âFashion trends come and go. Music trends come and go. New ways of challenging historical Christian faith come and go. Truth lasts. But sadly, many miss the difference between truth and trends. In another time period of challenges to faith, this book provides well-thought- out, intelligent, and very practical responses. These are the questions that we cannot ignore today. Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow guide us to see unshakeable truth in the midst of what can feel like unnerving and scary questions.âDan Kimball

âSean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow ask questions that deserve to be discussed between believers and their atheist friends. I hope this book will be a springboard for that dialogue. I, for one, want to debate it with them!âDavid Fitzgerald

From Back Cover:
Atheism is making a comeback. From bookstores to bus campaigns, the question of God is up for public debateâand well-known atheists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are leading the charge. While these authors, who have been dubbed âThe New Atheists,â argue against religion in general, they aim most of their criticisms and complaints at the worldâs largest religionâChristianity. Why are people reading books that bash God and ridicule faith? And how can Christians respond?
The writings of the New Atheists are especially challenging to the emerging generation who are skeptical of authority and have not been given answers to the hows and whys of faithâs honest questions. For these readers especially, authors Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow have penned an accessible yet rigorous look at the arguments of the New Atheists. Writing from a distinctively Christian perspective, McDowell and Morrow lay out the facts so that the emerging generation can make up their own mind after considering all the evidence. Divided into two partsâthe first addressing the scientific and philosophical challenges to belief in God and the second dealing with the moral and biblical challengesâIs God Just a Human Invention? will respond to each major argument in a way that is balanced, thorough, and easy to understand.
McDowell and Morrow believe that the current religious landscape is both an opportunity and a challenge for people of faith. Now is the time to respond.
Everyone has questions about GodâŚare you prepared to engage?
