"Applied Physics" series., Outskirts Press. Paperback. New. Paperback. 146 pages. Dimensions: 8.0in. x 5.0in. x 0.3in.Concise and information-packed, Atheism Disproved! is a rollicking romp through the fields of modern science, lampooning todays New Atheism and showing how results from fields as diverse as thermodynamics, cosmology, evolutionary biology, information theory and formal logic make the belief that the Universe came about as a result of blind, random chance processes, well, difficult to entertain with a straight face. Writing in a delightfully readable style and with an irreverent twinkle in the eye, author Simon Smiley gleefully hoists atheism on its own favorite pitard, demonstrable scientific truth, and makes the most esoteric areas of knowledge easily understood. Written to be thoroughly comfortable for the non-technical reader, the obvious joy that Smiley takes in his work comes through on every page, and carries the audience quite easily through everything from why the Big Bang presents a scientific conundrum to a whirlwind history of atheist thought to what is perhaps the most unexpected turn in the book, a discussion of what Smiley says is the complete irrelevance of the famous unpleasantness between evolution and creationism. Also included are examinations of the logical fallacies that permeate atheist arguments, and of the meaning for atheism of various quantum mechanical and string theory versions of the multiple universe scenario, always accompanied by what Smiley calls an abundance of explanation in plain, ordinary normal-people language. A thoroughly delightful, and at the same time eye opening, read. This item ships from multiple locations. Your book may arrive from Roseburg,OR, La Vergne,TN., Outskirts Press<
