God's Defenders: What They Believe and Why They Are Wrong
Debating the Existence of God
Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Analyzes the arguments of many popular apologists who are usually ignored
Cons  •  Ridicule may prove too much for some readers
The Bottom Line - Joshi's style of critique is not inappropriate and he makes many strong, decisive points against these apologists. Unfortunately, with so much of that style collected together, not as many will read the book as should.
 
Product Description
•  Acerbic critique of many popular defenders of theism
•  Attacks what Joshi regards as especially inane arguments
•  Demonstrates that many popular defenses of theism lack substance and coherence
 
 
Guide Review

Debating the Existence of God
Just about all of the central doctrines of the world's major religions are matters of truth or falsehood, not opinion. What this means is that these doctrines are either true or false - but proving them true or false is a tricky matter. While science has been able to demonstrate that most of these doctrines are exceedingly unlikely, it is the nature of science that basic religious beliefs won't be proven absolutely false. It is in this increasingly tiny space of possibility that faith makes a home, and where the defenders of theism operate.
