God, not alive and well!! July 24, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Another book to help Atheists sleep soundly - and another challenge to Dawkins which fails miserably. All response to Dawkins' scientific arguments seem to stem on believing in something that has no evidence of having ever existed - a bogeyman figure who created everything that in fact physics, science, nature has given us. If this God exists then please get rid of all disease and misery, or is this part of a greater plan - a plan that we should all suffer? What kind of caring God would do that? But then the religious ones would reply, 'God works in mysterious ways'!! So does the Bogeyman!!

Not much of an answer July 10, 2008

A very thin reply to Dawkins. Robertson manages a bit of sniping at odd bits of Dawkins book, which are valid, but not important, and all that is left are two tactics: One - to present atheism as a kind of fundamentalism and therefore one of many Faith approaches, of which others are Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc. This nonsense has been comprehensively dealt with elsewhere, but let it be reiterated that atheism is not a faith, but a position reasonably arrived at. Two - to reposition Christianity as a sort of brave, beleaguered beacon of light in the darkness of the secular world, which is exactly a parody of the current situation where it is undeservedly privileged. Alice is through the looking-glass again.

Challenging Atheists June 15, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I enjoyed reading this book very much and found it made some excellent points. After reading the God Delusion which I found to be quite interesting I was keen to read a good reply to Dawkins angry aggressive attack on christianity. Unfortunately I guess that most reviewers will slate this book as its seems to be very differcult for many Atheists to truly consider that Christianty may have something to offer. My experiance of Atheists is that many are as fundamental and closed minded as the most extreme religous fundamentlist whom they use to decry the possibilty of God. Im sure reading this will make many angry as well.

Unexpectedly good June 13, 2008

Usually I am suspicious of much hyped books as this one is, however, this one does live up to its promise. Clear, concise and generous to his opponent, the author has delivered what he intended to. I must admit bias in reading it, as I am a theist - but I did once pride myself on my atheism, and although this book will not convert one atheist to belief, it does expose the fundamental flaws of fundamentalist atheism.

Disappointing and dismal May 25, 2008

This is such a sad and disappointing book. Is this really the best Dawkins' opponents are able to offer. Closed minds, bigotry rife, and a determination to land a fatal blow on Dawkins. Dream on. This is poor stuff.
